• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
   
2. For dough: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and orange rind in a large bowl. Cut in Crisco with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk and 2 tsp. orange juice; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Roll out dough to a 14 x 12-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface.
   
3. For filling: Combine 2 Tbsp. Crisco, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cranberries, remaining 2 tsp. orange juice and almonds in food processor; pulse until cranberries are roughly chopped; spread mixture over dough, leaving 1-inch border on one long side. Roll dough (like a jelly roll). Place sealed-edge down on cookie sheet sprayed with Crisco No-Stick Spray. Gently join ends to form a wreath, seal. Brush wreath with egg white mixture. With scissors, make 12 evenly spaced cuts two-thirds of the way through wreath. Turn each section on its side. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
   
4. For glaze: Stir sugar, milk and almond extract together until smooth. Spoon over hot wreath.
