Use the back of a knife to create decorative stripes. Place 1 teaspoon cranberry jam in the center of each square. Fold the opposite corners toward the center, overlapping each other, to form an envelope. Carefully pinch the closure to prevent it from opening during baking. Separate the egg white and yolk. Brush the hearts with egg white and secure them to the letter. Add a Valentine’s Day card if desired.
