Vegetarian Cranberry Fritters

 

8 ozs. cranberry jelly, canned

5 tbsps. flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. sugar

5 tbsps. water

vegetable oil for deep-frying

flour for dredging

 

Cut the jelly crosswise into three round slices,

1/2 inch thick. Cut each slice into three strips,

approximately 1/2 x 1/2 x 2-1/2 inches.

Prepare a batter by blending the flour, baking powder,

sugar, and water.

Heat oil for deep-frying; after it is hot, keep the

heat around medium-high. Dredge the cranberry jelly

strips lightly in flour, making sure all sides,

including the ends, are dusted. Then dip them in the

batter to coat completely, and immerse them in the

oil until golden brown. Fry only a few at a time.

Drain on paper toweling, and eat while hot.

Makes 4 servings.
