Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup cranberries fresh
Instructions
- Add ½ cup of sugar and the water to a small size sauce pot and heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Remove the pot from the burner and mix in the cranberries and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until they are coated.
- Remove the cranberries using a slotted spoon and spread them out over a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and let them cool for about 30 to 45 minutes. They will be sticky so try to spread them out from one another.
- Next, toss the coated cranberries in batches in a small size bowl of sugar to completely coat them and give them a frosted look.
- Set them on a separate cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper for a further 30-45 minutes or until the sugar has dried onto them.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make these sugared cranberries up to 2 days ahead of time.
- How to Store: Keep covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Freeze covered for up to 3 months.
- You can use frozen cranberries in this recipe.
- Dried cranberries will not work for these.
- It is ok if you are using pure organic cane sugar that has a light brown tint to it.
- If you accidentally boil the simple syrup wait 10-15 minutes away from the burner before putting in the cranberries or else they will pop.
