Cranberry Squares

Submitted by Brigitte in Texas

"I had this at a friend. party and loved it. Not a huge fan of cranberries; but fresh cranberries with the almond extract could almost be mistaken for cherries. I made it several times through the Holidays and it was a huge hit. GREAT for breakfast or tea.any time of the year. Buy fresh cranberries when in season and freeze for cooking throughout the year."
