Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cup cranberries
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or more)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter (or more)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp orange juice

Instruction

  • Add cranberries, orange juice, zest, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium pot. Bring mixture to boil and then simmer on low-medium heat for about 10-15 mins. This sauce should be a little thick in consistency (like fruit jam).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl add flour, sugar, chopped pecans, vanilla, butter, egg, orange zest, orange juice, and salt. Combine them together to form a crumbly mixture.
  • Line 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Evenly spread and lightly tap the flour mixture in the pan to form a base.
  • Bake it in a preheated oven for 18-20 min.
  • Slightly cool the base and then evenly spread the prepared cranberry sauce over the flour base. Once completely cool cut into small bars.
  • Optionally, drizzle some powdered sugar and garnish with some crushed pecans and orange zest.
