Ingredients

  • 6 oz Cranberries fresh
  • 1 cup White sugar divided into ¾ cup and ¼ cup
  • ¼ cup Water boiling

Instructions

  • Place 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow saucepan. Bring to a simmer on medium to low heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat and add the cranberries and stir, making sure they are all coated. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to the parchment paper. Make sure to keep them separated.
  • Let coated cranberries dry for one hour. 
  • The cranberries should be dry and sticky by this point. Combine the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar into a small bowl. Add a few cranberries at a time to the bowl, sprinkle sugar on top and roll them around in the sugar. Place back on clean parchment paper. Repeat until everything has been coated. 
  • Let dry for another hour or so.
  • Use as garnish - adding the sugared cranberries when ready to serve drinks and desserts.
