Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I found this recipe scratched on a piece of paper and shoved into an old cookbook.  I have no idea where it came from or who to give credit to.  It was fantastic though!

Cranberry Oatmeal Bars
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 can whole cranberry sauce (I used my home made sauce, recipe below)

Directions:
Mix oats, flour, and brown sugar in bowl.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Put half of mixture into a well greased 8x12 baking dish.  Cover with cranberry sauce.  Put remaining mixture on top of cranberry sauce.  Bake at 350*F for approximately 45 minutes or until top is nice golden brown.  I baked it for 55 minutes and it could have used a couple more minutes, so perhaps an hour?
Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan.  Cut into squares and serve.

4 Cups Fresh Cranberries.

Directions:
Put in a pot and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for apx 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool. It will thicken as it cools.
