Cranberry-Orange Bars

I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Ossg Recipes. This recipe is from The ADA Holiday cookbook. Diabetic exchanges 1 bar = 1 fruit, and 1/2 fat.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• 1  cup  finely chopped cranberries
• 2  oranges, ground skins and pulp
• 1⁄2 cup raisins, dark or 1⁄2 cup golden raisin

• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  cup whole wheat flour
• 1  cup unbleached white flour

Directions

1. * substitutions = 2 cups whole fresh or frozen berries instead of 1 cup chopped.
2. ** substitutions = 2 T fructose instead of brown sugar
3. Combine the cranberriess, oranges, raisins and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Cream margarine until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time and beat well. Blend in vanilla.
