CRANBERRY DATE BARS
My friend Susan, in Albuquerque, gave me this recipe. Her sister, Robin, gave it to her, and through a little research, I have found that it came originally from Taste of Home. I should have known that immediately! Love those recipes from TOH! Photo: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Winning-Cranberry-Date-Bars

Steps:
- 1. In a saucepan, over low heat, simmer cranberries, dates, and water for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have popped. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in butter until well blended.
- 3. Pat half the oat mixture into an ungreased 13"x9"x2" baking pan. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Spoon cranberry mixture over crust. Sprinkle with the remaining oat mixture. Pat gently.
- 4. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes or until browned. Cool.
- 5. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over bars. Yield: 3 dozen bars.
- 6. You might want sometimes to serve bar cookies with ice cream. Not so with these! They're so yummy by themselves that nothing else is needed except, maybe, a good cup of coffee.
- 7. Susan uses only half the glaze recipe, but I LOVE confectioners' sugar, so I use all of it!
