Sugar cranberries are a delicious and healthy treat that can be easily prepared at home. It is also a great way to preserve the harvested crop. Cranberries ripen in autumn, they begin to collect them in mid-September, but they reach full ripeness by November - with the onset of frost. It is these berries - large, juicy, ripe - that are best suited for making a traditional dessert from them: cranberries in sugar.
It is necessary
- - 500 grams of cranberries;
- - 500 grams of powdered sugar;
- - 2 chicken eggs;
- - salt on the tip of the knife.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the cranberries: select large and strong berries, rinse, changing the water several times, and then spread on a paper or cloth towel to dry.
Step 2
Gently break the eggs, separate the whites from the yolks (yolks are not needed). Pour the egg whites into a large bowl, add a small pinch of salt and beat gently with a whisk or mixer.
Step 3
Pour the prepared cranberries into a bowl with whipped proteins and mix gently, taking care not to damage the integrity of the berries.
Step 4
Pour the icing sugar onto a large flat plate, smooth over the entire surface. Put the cranberries moistened with protein in portions and roll them in powder on all sides with the help of two spoons. You can take the plate in your hands and shake it slightly so that the berries are evenly covered with a layer of powdered sugar.
Step 5
Now the icing must be dried. To do this, put the berries on a clean, dry dish, or on baking paper - so that they do not come into contact with each other, and leave for 2-3 hours. You can put cranberries in sugar on a baking sheet and hold for an hour in a slightly open warm oven at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Finally, you can use an electric dryer for vegetables and berries.
Step 6
Store prepared cranberries in sugar in a cool dry place. Ideal storage options are paper containers. Glass or plastic jars will also work. To preserve the glaze, each layer of cranberries can be shifted with a paper napkin.
