Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar divided
- ⅔ cup water
Notes
- strainer
- If you want to add a little extra flavor to your sugared cranberries, try adding a splash of vanilla extract, some warm spices or citrus zest to the syrup before cooking the cranberries.
- Don't throw away the syrup! Use it in cocktails or a big batch of cranberry lemonade.
- For extra festive sugared cranberries, try coating them in colored sugar or sprinkles instead of granulated sugar.
- Use a fork or small strainer to help with the sugaring process so you don't wind up sugaring your hands. It gets sticky!
