Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups sugar divided
  • 12 ounce cranberries fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and ½ cup of the sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat until sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the cranberries and make sure each cranberry is well coated in the simple syrup. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack and let them dry for at least an hour.
  3. After an hour the cranberries should be dry but sticky. Working with a few cranberries at once, roll them in the remaining sugar until they are fully coated. Let them sit until and dry for another hour.

Notes

  • This recipe has only been tested with fresh cranberries, so I would not use frozen cranberries.
  • Store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
