This recipe was given to me years ago by my Aunt Lena, who lived on Cape Cod where cranberries are grown. The combination of warm tart cranberries and a smooth sweet brown sugar sauce is the perfect ending to any holiday meal!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup water

  1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in cranberries. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
