Cranberry Sauce Bars

Cranberry Sauce Bars



1 cup flour

1 cup oatmeal

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup whole cranberry sauce, drained



Preheat oven to 350°.



In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients: flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, and melted butter, until crumbly (large crumbs).



Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture. Press the remainder into an ungreased 8 or 9 inch square pan.



Spoon and spread the cranberry sauce over the crumb mixture. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs and gently pat.



Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and cut in bars. (Store in the refrigerator.)



Makes 16-24 bars.



NOTE: Recipe may be doubled and mincemeat may substitute for the cranberry sauce
