Cranberry Bars - Holly Krause

1 1/2 sticks of butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

2 c flour

1/2 t salt

1 c plus 2 T sugar

3 c fresh or frozen cranberries

1/4 c water

Powdered sugar for dusting


Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle of oven. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 X 9 inch baking pan with foil and butter or use nonstick cooking spray on foil. Mix together butter, flour, salt and 1/2 c of sugar until mixture begins to clump together. Press into bottom of the pan. Bake until pale golden and sides begin to pull away from pan, 25 to 30 minutes. While crust is baking, cook cranberries, remaining sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries start to burst. Pour cranberries over crust and bake until edge is golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool and sift powdered sugar on top. Lift out of pan using foil and cut into squares.
