Preparation
 
"Tart and tangy, these crackers capture the distinctive flavor of
cranberries. Serve them with wine or apple juice as an ideal starter
for a fall picnic. 325~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat oven to 325~F.

Stir together the flours and salt in a large bowl or in the food
processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Add the cranberry sauce and blend to form a dough that will hold
together in a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions
for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll out to about
1/8 inch thick.

With a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut the dough into 2-inch
circles. Prick all the way through each circle with a fork in 2 or 3
places. Bake for 10 minutes. Brush the tops with egg white and
continue baking another 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned
and crisp. Cool the crackers on a wire rack. Yield: 50-60.

VARIATIONS: For a crunchier cranberry cracker, add 1/4 cup Grape Nuts
cereal or chopped, toasted walnuts with the flours. If necessary, add
additional cranberry sauce.
