Step 7:
Back to the main pans - spread the jam evenly over each pan. If it's a firmer jam you can get away with a thicker amount, but if it's quite thin like a lot of apricot jams, be careful not to overload it (you'll probably use most of each jar, but probably not all of it). In our family, the jelly bars always had two different flavors - one was always apricot and that side always got the meringue topping. The second flavor was usually strawberry but sometimes changed acording to my grandma's whims. I have chosen wild blueberry jam because it's my absolute favorite flavor. I would think that any kind of jam would work in these bars so go with what you like.
Step 8:
Take the extra rolled dough and cut into 1 cm wide strips with a pizza cutter.
Step 9:
Lay these strips over one pan of dough (in my case, the blueberry side) in a trellis pattern.
