Preparation

Step 1

Wash cranberries and discard any damaged ones.  Place in a bowl.  Combine sugar and water in a pot and heat until simmering.  Stir until sugar is dissolved and let cool for a few minutes until warm (not hot).  Pour over cranberries and let sit in fridge, covered, overnight.

Use a slotted spoon to remove berries from syrup.  Set berries on a cooling rack that is placed over foil to collect drips.  Spread berries out so they are not touching each other.  Let dry for 1 hour.

Roll berries a handful at a time in sugar (use the two-sugar technique from the notes if desired.)  Place sugared berries on a baking sheet, or foil, etc.  and let dry for an hour or two.
