Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups - fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cups - sugar
- 2 tablespoons - orange marmalade
- 2 teaspoons - finely grated lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups - rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
- 1 cups - packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons - baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 10 tablespoons - cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
Directions:
1. Combine cranberries, sugar, marmalade and zest in a small pan. Add 2 tablespoons water; bring to a boil, stirring and slightly crushing berries. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 5-10 minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl, partially cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours (may be made up to 3 days in advance; keep covered and chilled).
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line with foil, allowing an overhang of 2 inches; spray foil.
3. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work butter into mixture until butter is the size of small peas.
4. Press half of oat mixture into bottom of pan. Spread cranberry mixture evenly over crust. Crumble remaining oat mixture on top; pack down slightly. Bake until top and edges are lightly browned, approximately 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
