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