Author Notes
Thanksgiving in the US is around the corner and we are all digging for new recipes and new ideas. I love cranberries and always looking for new things to make with them.
Not only are cranberries sweet, sour and bitter, but they are also very good for us.
Here is an excellent idea for cranberries. These bars are sweet, tart, colorful and delicious. Original recipe from December 2007 Sunset Magazine but with several adjustments. —Delishhh
