      Cranberry Ginger Bars
      by Luree

      Filling:

      3 cups of fresh or frozen cranberries

      3/4 cups each of raisins, dried apricots and crystallised ginger

      1 lb/450g/3 cups of mixed dried fruit of your choice – including lots of dried apricots works very well

      1 cup brown sugar

      1 cup apple juice

      In a large saucepan combine all ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil over a medium heat. Stir for about 5 minutes or until the cranberries have popped.

      Let cool.

      Base and Topping:

      2 cups flour

      3/4 cups brown sugar

      1 and a half teaspoons of ground ginger

      1/4 teaspoon of salt

      1 cup of margarine or vegetable shortening

      1 cup of rolled oats

      3/4 cup of raw sunflower seeds

      Mix all ingredients together. Set aside 1 and a half cups of crumb mixture for topping. Press the remainder into a 9″ by 13″ baking pan.

      Bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes. Spread with cranberry mixture and sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Bake for another 30 minutes.

      Yummy!
