Christmas Cranberry Bars

December 19, 2011 By JJ 65 Comments

11-12-18_CranberryBars

Sweet Adventures Festive Favourites - Dec 2011When we chose ‘Festive Favourites’ as the theme for our December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, the first thing that came to mind was ‘how on earth am I expected to choose just one favourite dessert from the raft of holiday celebratory sweets that are out there’? It just isn’t fair to all the others! But I managed [ha!] and if you’re busy baking your way through December as well, make sure to join the SABH and link up your Festive Fav Dessert at the bottom of this post. You can also read more about the hop and the hostesses here.

Now, I must mention up front that in my family we do 2 things really well… we talk over top of one another – each participating in at least 3 conversations at once, all at top volume… and we eat. Blame it on the olive oil running through our veins, or something like that. We are also pretty good at welcoming newcomers with open arms – as long as they are open to participating in both activities. There have been a few quiet ones join our ranks over the years… but provided they enjoy the eating bit, the lack of boisterous conversation is forgiven and the rest of us simply crank it up a notch to accommodate [Italian per-capita noise allowance and all].

Being as I’ve recently covered off two of my top 10 holiday desserts – Pumpkin Pie and Gingerbread – I wanted to choose something that wasn’t in the Pie or Cookie categories to share. Enter the Cranberry Bar.  This little gem was introduced to our family by one of the ‘newcomers’ many, many years ago and was immediately embraced and demanded for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

11-12-18_CranberryBars

To switch gears ever so slightly [digression? me? no way], I used to be really good at Christmas presents. I would pick up things through the year, tucking them away for special occasions and such. Putting together hamper-esque packages and stuffing stockings with lots of little bits and pieces. But these days time just seems to get away and the same way the thank you cards never get sent, the presents sometimes don’t even get bought – shameful, I know.

11-12-18_CranberryBars

Then last weekend I read an article about the overwhelming nature of Christmas in recent years and one line in particular stood out to me: ‘Sometimes the best present is just to be present‘.  A note from my aunt when she was kind enough to send the original recipe for these bars said that each time she reads my blog it is like having a little visit, and it made me think about that whole present situation. There are a few thousand miles in the way of physically being with my family during Christmas but I realised [with a full helping of modesty for a change] that these posts and recipes and pictures and stories are my gift, my hello, my present to the people I know and love and miss every day.

So with out further ado I give you Cranberry Bars – ‘adapted’ per usual within an inch of their gooey goodness to suit my pantry staples and how we eat but still lovely and a perfect addition to the Christmas dessert tray – or you know, breakfast.

I can’t wait to see all of the other festive deliciousness from the SABH participants! Make sure to click through to the other linked posts below and share the holiday love.

Christmas Cranberry Bars

Adapted generously from a recipe given to me by my aunt who got it from her sister’s 90 year old mother-in-law. In other words this is vintage, people. Vintage.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 c + 2 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil – just melted
  • 1/2 c apple juice concentrate or honey*
  • 1/2 c apple juice
  • 2 eggs – lightly beaten
  • 2 c whole spelt flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 c fresh or frozen cranberries*
  • 1/2 c chopped walnuts*

METHOD

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, grease a 9×13″ glass or ceramic baking dish with a bit of the coconut oil.

In a large bowl, mix together oil through eggs. Stir in dry ingredients and combine well. Fold in cranberries. You can either stir through the walnuts now or sprinkle them over the top of the batter once in the pan.

Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and just firm. Let cool completely in pan before cutting and removing with a small spatula.

Makes 18 bars.

COOK’S NOTES

  • Extra Virgin Coconut Oil replaces the butter used in the original recipe. Give it a try!
  • Apple Juice Concentrate – the bars will still be a bit tart with the amount of concentrate that is used but I like them that way. If you want a sweeter bar, add an extra Tbsp or two of concentrate. You can of course substitute honey or agave.  Both will make the bar a bit sweeter than the same quantity of apple.
  • Cranberries – keep them whole! If using frozen instead of fresh [you know, because you live in a country where they don’t have fresh ones, grr] thaw slightly by rinsing with water and allowing to drain.

    Great post, JJ. Your Christmas bars look positively bursting with cranberry goodness and I love that they are ‘vintage’ 😀

    I think it’s adorable that your family feel that reading your blog is like a visit. Having lived away from my family for so many years, I know how important it is to have that connection. I’m sure they love reading about what you get up to in the kitchen etc, as do we all!

    Yum JJ!!! Your bars look fantastic and I love that they contain fresh cranberries too!! I’ve been keeping an eye out for fresh cranberries but haven’t spotted any up here.

    I know what your Aunt means about each time she visits your blog it’s like visiting you. My Mum does the same thing as she lives in Tasmania, in fact as do all my family, so they stay in touch with what I am up to via my blog. I think it’s a fantastic because even if you can’t actually share bites of the food we make we can share them visually.

    Happy holidays everyone!

      There are definitely way too many bags of cranberries taking over my freezer at present! I managed to find them at Aldi of all places (Creative Gourmet ones, says on their site that they are seasonal only and in Aldi’s on eastern seaboard – you may have some luck up in Brisbane!)

      Happy Holidays to you too 🙂

    After reading ultra complicated recipes for how to make sweet treats more body-friendly your simple recipe looks great! I will have to try it, but i’m not sure if I can go straight for the apple concentrate, I might need to start with honey and take baby steps 😛 I think cranberries are so festive but i’m not sure where to get fresh or frozen ones here in oz, perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough yet?

    Thankyou for hosting the hop this month, Merry Christmas 🙂

    Having actually moved about a billions times (and preparing to do it once again), I advocate,
    and dis-advocate a few of these suggestions:

    1. Simply fold the end of the packing tape over. This does not require any additional
    devices such as a toothpick which you will lose then have to go discover more toothpicks.
    Be prepared to poke yourself in unanticipated locations with lost toothpicks (particularly those ones on the floor).

    2. YOU NEED TO EMPTY YOUR BEDROOM DRESSER! Reason # 1 – Clothing are heavy, and depending on the durability of your dresser, they will shift around and potentially
    alter the drawers. This occurred to me with a less costly cabinet.
    I was able to get it back together, which readies since I was
    a college student and didn’t have funds for another furniture piece.

    3. STILL, YOU HAD TO EMPTY YOUR BEDROOM CABINET!

    Factor # 3 – The clothing are still heavy
    and depending upon the weight of your dresser, you
    will end up with a furniture piece so remarkably heavy it will be difficult
    to move. Especially if it has to go up stairs on someone’s back (let’s hope it’s not
    yours).

    4. I dis-advocate socks or other knit clothing products as packing material.
    While they are soft, socks around large glasses extend them out.
    This is fine if you are a man with huge feet, however women socks will end up being unwearable.
    Likewise, you wish to make sure whatever you wrap your socks or other knitwear around is tidy.
    My daddy evacuated boxes and boxes of dirty knickknacks using his
    considerable collection of knit golf shirts. They were totally gross after being twisted around dirty objects, stretched out, and some had
    holes from the sharp edges of some of the items. My mother was doing laundry
    for days after the relocation (I think she should have made him do it).

    5. I absolutely advocate taking a photo of the back of your TELEVISION, and possibly drawing a diagram of it too.
    And identifying the cords. Makes hooking everything back up in the new place sooooo a
    lot easier. I discovered that lesson the hard way.

    6. There is a factor you load books in the SMALL boxes. Like clothes, they are heavy.
    Packing them in travel suitcases only works if you utilize a small suitcase.
    Otherwise, you wind up with a leviathan of a bag that with wheels,
    you can just proceed flat surfaces and with an elevator.

    Depending on the density of the books and quality of your bag, you may
    also wind up destroying your suitcase. Pack your
    clothes in them rather because it’s exactly what they were
    produced.

    Best of luck movers!

That’s it. That’s the post.
Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’ Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’s overcast and raining in LA (so a plate of sunshine is absolutely necessary), and if you’ve been here for more than a hot second you know how I feel about toast.
🍞🍓🥒🌱
Toasted sourdough, goat chèvre (or vegan cream cheese), sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, fresh mint, olive oil, black pepper, just a pinch of salt. Go forth and feast.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

What’s your order? 🍳 … When the middle litt What’s your order? 🍳
…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all. 
🌹🌺🌸

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨. 
—-
The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing. 
—-
Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?
