Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for an hour. Cut just before serving. Makes 12 to 16 bars. Cranberries bring to mind the winter holidays for many, but they make me think of Cape Cod,(my husband's birthplace) where you can find delicious sweets like cranberry fudge and cranberry ice cream all year round. Unlike costly dried cherries, dried cranberries are inexpensive and easy to find. They add a pleasingly tart and pleasing flavor to baked goods, especially when paired with orange as they are in these bars. Serve them on Thanksgiving. Source: the Fat Witch Bakery
