Method
Crust Preparation
Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press into Pan
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Cranberry Filling
In a large bowl, combine fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Pour Filling Over Crust
Once the crust has cooled slightly, pour the cranberry filling over the crust and spread evenly.
Baking
Bake the Bars
Bake in the oven for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly bubbly.
Cool and Cut
Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares.
Topping Preparation
Make the Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth icing.
Drizzle Over Bars
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cranberry bars before serving.
