This was yet another batch of cookies/bars that I added to a recent cookie buffet held for residents of my mobile home park! One change I made was to add about 1/4 cup of dried cranberries to the whole berry cranberry sauce, just to jack up the cranberry flavor! Very, very nice!

Thank you rpsj2 for a delicious treat. Made this exactly as written except opted out of the nuts as it is a family preference to do do. I took my homemade cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving and used it for this recipe with the ingredients that I had in my pantry. Thanks for helping me stretch my budget and serve a warm dessert to my family. It is a lot like a cobbler type dessert except that there is the layer of topping and the bottom layer with the fruit in the middle. I think it would be great with applesauce too. Served with whipped cream and the pan is empty! Enjoy. ChefDLH

These are so easy to make and delicious to eat! I've been making these for years, since I read the book to my class years ago.
