Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease a 9" x 13" Pan.
- Mix the butter with the sugar, and add the eggs and flour.
- Stir in the cranberries and pecans.
- Pour batter into greased pan, spreading out evenly.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.
- Cool. Cut into squares. At Christmas-time, you can add chopped green candied cherries. These also freeze well.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give your squares a more vibrant color and flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overcook the cranberry sauce: The cranberry sauce should be cooked until it has thickened, but not so long that it becomes too thick and jammy. Overcooked cranberry sauce will make your squares too sweet and sticky.
- Use a good-quality coconut: The coconut in your squares should be fresh and flavorful. Avoid using sweetened or shredded coconut, as it will make your squares too sweet and dry.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your squares tough and rubbery. Beat the eggs just until they are well combined.
- Bake the squares until they are golden brown: The squares are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Cranberry coconut squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of fresh cranberries, coconut, sugar, eggs, and flour. The cranberry sauce is cooked until it has thickened, and then it is combined with the other ingredients and baked until golden brown. Cranberry coconut squares are a great way to use up fresh cranberries, and they are also a delicious and festive holiday treat.
