Cranberries and orange just
scream Thanksgiving to me. I love that combo! So when I bought something
similar to this from my granddaughter's girl scout troop, I knew I'd go
broke buying it so I set about making my own. This stuff is stinkin'
good! This is the kind of thing you leave out on your counter and nibble
at as you walk by then realize you've nibbled the whole thing away and
it's time to make more. So you make more then snack on it until it's
gone and the vicious cycle begins. Worth it? Definitely yes...worth
every bite!

In a medium bowl, whip the egg white with the orange juice and orange zest.

Sprinkle the sugar over the almond mixture and toss to coat.
Spread mixture onto prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour, tossing every 15 minutes.
Cool.
