Though the cranberries look gorgeous, you wouldn't want to eat themthey're extremely tart when raw. The mint leaves, however, are positively delicious. Fresh raw cranberries yielded the most attractive garnish; thawed frozen berries may collapse and shrivel. Feel free to increase the amounts we've provided here if you'd like to make your decoration more elaborate. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon powdered egg whites |
1 tablespoon warm water |
9 raw cranberries |
6 fresh mint leaves |
1/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Slowly whisk together powdered egg whites and water until dissolved. Lightly coat cranberries and both sides of mint leaves with egg mixture using your fingers or a pastry brush, then sprinkle with sugar. Transfer to a lightly oiled rack and dry 2 to 3 hours.
2. Cooks' note: ·Mint leaves will darken if not used within a few hours, but cranberries will keep, uncovered, 1 day.
