CRANBERRY SQUARES

Real quick and easy to make! I got this recipe from an acquaintance at a boardgame night. The original recipe called for walnuts, but I think pecans are a more complementary flavor. These cranberry bars are delicious, with a delightful balance of sweet and tart. Don't count on leftovers - these moist squares get gobbled right up!

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 55m

Yield 24 Bars

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, Softened
2 eggs, Beaten
2 cups raw cranberries, left whole
1 cup pecans, Chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grease a 9" x 13" Pan.
  • Mix the butter with the sugar, and add the eggs and flour.
  • Stir in the cranberries and pecans.
  • Pour batter into greased pan, spreading out evenly.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Cool. Cut into squares. At Christmas-time, you can add chopped green candied cherries. These also freeze well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. They should be cooked until they are softened but still hold their shape.
  • The Rice Krispies squares can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a fun variation, try adding other dried fruits to the Rice Krispies squares, such as raisins, cherries, or apricots.
