Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
Serves: 64
Yields: 64 bars
Ingredients
- 2 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter, cut into 16 pieces
- 1 1⁄2 cups rolled oats
- 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1⁄2 cup thick orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Grease a 10x 15-inch jelly-roll pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 c flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (or you can do this in a food processor using pulses).
- Stir in oats. Reserve 1 c mixture. Firmly press remainder over bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before filling.
- In a medium bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, marmalade and vanilla. Sift remaining 1/3 c flour over cranberry mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition. Spread evenly over baked and cooled crust. Add nuts to reserved oat mixture; sprinkle over top of cranberry filling.
- Bake about 30 minutes, or until lightly brown. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 64 (about 1 1/2 x 2-inch) bars, cutting 8 strips both ways. Store in airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
