Ingredients:  
Base:
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 cups raisins
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
Directions:
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350º F. For base, lightly butter two 8-inch square pans or one 9x13-inch baking pan. In medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, beat butter with brown sugar until evenly mixed. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups flour just until mixed. Firmly and evenly press into bottoms of pans. Bake in centre of preheated oven until light golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from oven but leave oven on.

Prepare filling while base is baking. In medium bowl, whisk eggs with vanilla and salt until evenly mixed. Beat in granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup flour. Stir in corn syrup until evenly mixed, then add raisins and cranberries. Divide filling over hot bases and evenly spread out.

Bake in centre of oven until squares are lightly browned and centre is almost set, 20 to 25 more minutes. Remove pans to a rack and cool at least 4 hours before cutting into squares. Squares cut up best after overnight refrigeration.

Personal Notes:
In larger pan, Anne usually ends up baking these closer to 30 minutes, rather than 20-25.
