Cranberry Pecan Bars

1 cup flour
2 tbs sugar
1/3 cup margarine or butter
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tbs flour
2 beaten eggs
2 tbs milk
1 tbs finely shredded orange peel
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped cranberries

a pastry cutter, cut margarine into the flour mixture until the
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans.

pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 min. Meanwhile, combine 1
1/4 cup sugar and 2 tbs flour. Stir in eggs, milk, orange peel and

pecans. Spread over partially baked crust. Bake 25 to 30 min more
or until top is golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars
