Instructions

  1. Wash the cranberries and dry them thoroughly on kitchen paper.
  2. If you want them vegan, just pass them briefly under running water; otherwise lightly whisk the egg white so it becomes runny.
  3. Dip each cranberry in the egg white or water, then roll it in the caster sugar to coat it well.
  4. Place them on a rack or a sheet of baking paper and leave to dry at room temperature for 12 hours, or until the sugar is dry and crystallised.
  5. Store them in an airtight jar away from moisture.

Variations and tips

Icing sugar finish. Dust the cranberries with icing sugar at the end of drying for a softer, frosted look.
