Title: Cranberry Bars
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

2 Eggs
1 c Granualted sugar
2 ts Lemon juice
1 1/2 c Instant-type flour
1 1/2 ts Double-acting baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Pecans; finely chopped
1/2 cn (1-pound) jellied cranberry
-sauce (that is 8 ounces)

Here is another recipe from the same magazine. This is one that I tried,
beleive it or not. The instant-type flour is supposed to be Gold Medal
Wondra Flour or Pillsbury's Instant Blending Flour, unsifted. Now
considering I have never heard of either of these, I just used regual
all-purpose flour. Did it turn out right? Well, it tasted OK to me, but I
am not saying I will make them again! They just have a taste I don't like,
but my neighbor LOVED them! (I gave them to her as a "present"!!)

Make any time up to one week before serving

1. Start heating oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13" by 9" by 2" baking
dish.

2. In a small bowl, with hand beater, beat eggs with sugar until creamy;
then add lemon juice and beat till thoroughly blended.

3. On wax paper combine flour, baking powder and salt, then stir into egg
mixture untill well blended; fold in pecans. Cut the jellied cranberry
sauce into slices, 1/4 inch thick, then into small cubes; lightly fold into
flour mixture.

4. Turn into baking dish; bake 30 mintues or until cake tester comes out
clean. Then set on wire rack; while slightly warm, cut into 30 bars. Store
in baking dish, tightly covered, at room temperature until served. Makes
about 30 bars. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by
