How to make it
Shortbread Crust
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 10x15 or 13x9 baking pan/dish with parchment paper. Spray paper with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Add butter and mix until pea sized lumps form. (I did this by hand with my fingertips but feel free to throw it in the food processor.)
- Sprinkle mixture into prepared baking pan/dish and press down to even out.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
Cranberry Candy
- Melt butter in a large saucepan. Mix in sugar, agave nectar and salt - bring to boil. Lower to simmer until mixture reaches a golden amber color, about 10 minutes. (If you have a candy thermometer, test to read 245F.)
- Stir in cranberries and cook an additional 3-5 minutes (or until temp reads 245F again).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pecans. Quickly pour mixture over crust and spread evenly. Allow to cool completely.
