This recipe comes from a friend here in San Antonio – Annice Hill. She is an amazing cook and and was so sweet to share this with me. It’s perfect for the holidays and my in-laws have lovingly named these ‘Crackberries’ because of how addictive they are. The cardamom adds a slight spice which I really like. Though a little labor intensive, they are well worth the effort. Annice likes to display them in a clear glass or crystal bowl or a compote. No refrigeration required.

Sparkling Cardamom Spiced Cranberries

Ingredients:

• 1 bag fresh cranberries
• 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions:

1. Thoroughly wash and dry the cranberries.
2. Whisk 1 egg white, 1 tsp water and 1/4 tsp ground cardamom.
3. Toss the cranberries in the egg white mixture to coat.
4. Roll each cranberry individually in the sugar.*
5. Place on wax paper to set overnight or for 6 hrs.

*I like to keep some fresh sugar on the side because after about 1/2 of the cranberries are rolled, the sugar tends to clump.
