What can you do with leftover cranberry sauce?

I find that cranberry sauce is either a hit or a miss when we have it.  Nobody likes to throw away perfectly good food, but what can you do when your leftover food is cranberry sauce?  Make a yummy dessert with it of course!  

How long does cranberry sauce last?

If stored in the fridge, cranberry sauce lasts 10-14 days.

How to make cranberry crumble bars:

  • Start off by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and spraying a 9x13 baking dish  (affiliate link) with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer (affiliate link) fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, then the baking soda and salt.ย  Mix in the oatmeal and the flour.ย  Press the oatmeal cookie base with lightly floured hands into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, stir the cranberry sauce and cornstarch together.  Spread over the oatmeal cookie base.
  • In a food processor, (affiliate link) pulse the sugars, flour, and cinnamon together to mix.  Add the butter and pulse until it's well combined and crumbly.  Stir in the old-fashioned oats by hand.  Sprinkle over the cranberry sauce and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Cool completely before cutting and serving.
