1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan.
2. In the bowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse together the flour, sugar, and butter until it resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and pulse a couple more times.
3. Pour half the mixture into the baking pan and press the mixture into the pan. With a spoon, spread the jam over the crumb crust, being careful not to reach all the way to the sides or the jam will burn during baking.
4. Add the cinnamon and the pecans to the other half of the mixture, which is still in the food processor work bowl. Pulse four or five times to chop the pecans. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the jam.
5. Bake the jumbleberry jam bars in the middle of the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crumb topping is brown. Let the jam bars cool completely before cutting into 24 bar.
