Maybe twenty or thirty years ago I had these at a bowling pot luck and have often wondered what the recipe was. Yes, all those years. Not daily, but once in awhile. You might say that finding this recipe was on my culinary bucket list.
It is cranberries coated in powdered sugar. They are juicy, and you can't figure out why they don't soak through the coating.
I don't think it'd work with frozen cranberries, use fresh.
Cranberry Snowballs
1 pkg. fresh cranberries, washed and dried
1 egg white
1 one pound box powdered sugar
1 large Ziploc bag
In a large bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Add cranberries and mix to coat with egg white. Pour the powdered sugar into the Ziploc bag then add cranberries. Seal bag and gently roll the cranberries in sugar (you may need to separate some berries that stick together.) After the berries are thoroughly coated with the sugar, empty the contents onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 200º for 3-4 minutes.
Gently remove (don’t want to crack the sugar shell) the cranberries from the cookie sheet to serving/storage container to cool. Refrigerate.
