Cranberry Strawberry Squares

Ingredients:
CRUST:
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (125 mL) icing sugar
3/4 cup (175 mL) firm butter

TOPPING:
1 cup (250 mL) strawberry jam
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup (175 mL) packed brown sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
1 pkg (170 g) Ocean Spray® Craisins® Strawberry Flavor Sweetened Dried Cranberries
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) flaked coconut
