Cómo preparar Cranberry Lemon Squares

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
**Make the Cranberry Filling:** In a small saucepan, combine 12 ounces (340g) fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for 25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the cranberries have softened. Coarsely chop the cranberries and set aside.
**Make the Bottom Crust:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar and 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour. Cut in 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
**Make the Lemon Topping:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon. Add 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and whisk until just combined.
Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Pour the lemon mixture over the cranberry layer.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely before cutting into squares.
Store in the refrigerator.
