Description

These tart and tangy Cranberry Bars are one of my favorite treats. I’ve been craving cranberries lately and this gluten free dessert more than hits the spot when it comes to mouth puckering goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw Pecans
  • 5 whole Dates, Pitted
  • 1 Tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
  • ¼ teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt
  • 6 cups Fresh Cranberries, Picked Over (discard Bad Ones)
  • 1 cup Agave Nectar
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest

Preparation

1. Place pecans and dates in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground.
2. Pulse in oil and salt until mixture begins to form a ball. This will be your crust.
3. Press crust into an 8×8 inch greased baking dish.
4. Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes until lightly browned.
5. To make cranberry topping, place 4 cups cranberries, agave and orange zest in a pot on the stove.
6. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes, until cranberries start to dissolve.
7. Add remaining 2 cups of cranberries and cook covered for 5 more minutes.
8. Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
9. Pour mixture over pecan crust.
10. Allow bars to set for 60-90 minutes.
11. Serve.

I made this yesterday and brought it to a bbq. Very tasty! My only issue is that I had a hard time keeping the topping together (we all just ate it like an upside down cobbler). I’m thinking that I’ll add a packet of gelatin to the filling for the next go-round. Oh, and the crust was FABULOUS and tasted like there was butter in it. YUM!
