Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, place cranberries and brandy. Add about 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Drain and cool. Combine cranberries with marmalade and white chocolate and set aside.

Combine cream cheese, butter, and flour. Form into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour. Divide into 24 balls and place a ball in each cup of a lightly greased mini-muffin tin. Push dough up sides of muffin cups to form crusts (or tamp with tart tamper). Preheat oven to 375. Divide filling between 24 crusts. Bake 15-20 minutes. Remove while still warm and cool on rack. Makes 24.
