SUGARED CRANBERRIES

By

Sugared Cranberries are so beautiful when added to a holiday dessert. Make them a day ahead to allow them to dry.

Ingredients

  • 2 C sugar, divided
  • 1/2 C water
  • 1 (12oz) bag fresh cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and give a stir to make sure all are coated and wet.
Transfer to a wire rack with a slotted spoon and allow to dry and become tacky. Should take about an hour.
Gradually roll a few cranberries at a time in the remaining sugar until they are well coated. Leave them overnight to dry completely.
