Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed before using.
  • Be sure to drain the cranberries well before adding them to the filling. This will help to prevent the bars from being too watery.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely.
  • The bars can be baked in a 9x13 inch pan or a 10x15 inch pan. If using a 10x15 inch pan, the bars will be thinner and crispier.
  • The bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Sour cream cranberry bars are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like them tart or sweet, chewy or crispy, these bars are sure to please everyone.
