Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • granulated sugar for rolling; coarse or fine

Instructions

  1. Bring ¾ cup each water and sugar to a boil. Let boil about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and add cranberries in.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove cranberries and place on a rack letting them drip dry. Allow the cranberries to dry on the rack until they're tacky or sticky, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Place the sugar in a plastic sandwich bag (we find this easiest) and add cranberries a few at a time.
  5. Shake the cranberries in the sugar and strain through a strainer or pick the cranberries out and let dry on a rack or parchment paper at least 1 hour before handling.

Notes

  • If you don't want to use a plastic sandwich bag, place the sugar in a bowl and roll cranberries in the sugar.
  • Store leftover sugared cranberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Toss with more sugar before serving. 
  • Freeze them on a baking sheet and then store them in a zippered bag for up to 2 months.
