Notes

  • When making frosted cranberries, I prefer drying the cranberries first because I feel the coating sticks better.
  • Another thing to remember is the sweetness or tartness of your cranberries when you first buy them will remain the same. If you’ve heard that soaking the cranberries in a syrup solution overnight will make them sweeter—I’m sorry to say that it doesn’t make a significant difference. At the same time, I feel the sugar coating will do the trick so don’t stress about that.
