Tips:

Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
Be sure to rinse the cranberries well before using them.
Don't overcook the cranberries. They should be cooked until they are just softened and still hold their shape.
If you are using a food processor to chop the cranberries, be sure to pulse it only until the cranberries are finely chopped. If you over-process them, they will become mushy.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cranberry slices. This will help them to cook evenly.
Let the cranberry slices cool completely before cutting them into bars.
