Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, white sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally until all of the cranberries have popped, and the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in the oats, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Set aside about 1 1/2 cups of the mixture, and spread the rest into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pack down to form a solid crust, getting it as even as possible. Spread the cooled cranberry mixture over the crust. Pinch off pieces of the remaining mixture and place evenly over the cranberry layer.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is lightly browned. Cool in the pan for about 40 minutes before slicing into bars.

Nutrition Facts :
CRANBERRY-CLEMENTINE SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine one 12-ounce bag cranberries, the segments from 6 clementines, 1/2 cup each orange juice and cranberry juice, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 star anise pod in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 20 minutes. Add 1 cup dried cranberries and simmer 15 more minutes, or until thickened.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have clementines, you can substitute oranges or tangerines.
- Be sure to zest the clementines before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the bars.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
