Set aside 3/4 cup of the oat mixture. Press remaining oat mixture into bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake crust for 12 minutes.

    For filling, cut up any large pieces of fruit in cherry preserves. Stir together preserves, drained cherries and orange peel. Dollop filling onto baked crust; spread to cover evenly. Sprinkle with the 3/4 cup reserved oat mixture. Bake 25 minutes.
