Step by step

Pro tips
- Finely chop cranberries and nuts for clean slices and an even coat.
- Chill before coating to prevent smearing.
- Keep the acorn proportion by making the “cap” one third of the height.
- For sharper slices, refrigerate overnight and cut with a warm knife.
- Make two smaller acorns for faster chilling and easy portioning.

Yes, but it will be softer. Chill longer and add 2 tablespoons finely crushed crackers to help set.
How do I keep the coating from falling off?
Pat the surface dry, press the coating firmly, then chill 10 minutes and re roll.
What if I do not eat nuts?
Use crushed pretzels or seeds for the cap and body.
How big should I make it?
Aim for about 5 to 6 inches long which serves 10 to 12 as an appetizer.
