These sparkling, sugared cranberries are simple to make and can be used in so many ways.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups cranberries
  • ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
  1. Combine the 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan and heat over low, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring the sugar syrup to a simmer and then remove it from the heat, being careful not to let it boil (otherwise the berries will burst).
  3. Stir in the cranberries and let cool, then chill overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Drain the cranberries (saving the sugar syrup if desired).
  5. Working in small batches so that the sugar does not clump up, roll the cranberries in the ¾ cup sugar to evenly coat them.
  6. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest at room temperature for 1 hour or until dry.
  7. Store the sugared cranberries in a sealed container at cool temps for up to a week.
