Here's a couple of our favorites:

I don't know if you can get fresh cranberries in the U.K....
Glazed Cranberries
Ingredients:
1 egg white
1/2 tsp water
1 cup fresh whole cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
Preparation:
1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. Place the sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
2. Place the egg white and water in a small bowl and whisk until foamy.
3. Working with a handful of cranberries at a time, dunk them in the egg white mixture until they're entirely coated. Roll the wet cranberries in the sugar, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cranberries. Try to remove any large sugar clumps while they're still wet, as they will harden and dry onto the cranberries.
4. Allow the berries to dry at room temperature, several hours or overnight. Store the berries in an airtight tupperware container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, they will keep for several days.

Spiced Nuts
2 cups toasted nuts
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg whites, at room temperature
Preparation:
1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil, and preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, spices, and salt. Place the room temperature egg whites in a small bowl and beat them to soft peaks with a handheld mixer.
3. Working with a small handful of nuts at a time, drop the nuts in the egg white and then in the sugar/spice mixture, coating them thoroughly. Spread the coated nuts on the baking sheet, and repeat with remaining nuts, egg white, and spices.
4. Bake the nuts at 300 degrees (F) for 20 minutes. Allow to cool at room temperature, then break any large clumps into smaller pieces. Store Spiced Nuts in an airtight container or plastic bag a
