Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar , divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (thawed)
Instructions
- Place a wire cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet. This is optional, but you can Put aluminum foil, parchment or wax paper under for easy clean up. Set aside.
- In a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1/2 cup of the sugar and water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and mixture becomes like syrup, approximately 5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Place the cranberries in a large mixing bowl and cover with the sugar syrup, tossing to coat. Pour the coated berries onto the wire cooling rack, allow the excess to drop down.
- Let the berries set for 45 minutes to 1 hour. They will still be tacky, but not hot.
- Place the remaining 1 cup of sugar into a shallow dish or pie plate. Working in batches, roll the tacky cranberries in the granulated sugar until well coated. Use a slotted spoon to sift them and transfer them to another plate or dish to set.
- Transfer to an airtight container and use within 3 days.
