Sugared Cranberries
Report
Sugared cranberries are possibly the easiest and least expensive way to dress up any holiday dessert. Not only is it a fool-proof way off adding pops of color to the dishes they adorn, but they are also so tasty! With a burst of sweet and tart exploding in your mouth with every bite, they may have you eating them by handfuls.

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water with 1 cup of the sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and add the fresh cranberries, stirring to coat. Let them soak for 20 minutes.
- Drain well and let the cranberries air dry for an hour on a wire rack. Once the cranberries are tacky to the touch, transfer them to a bowl with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and toss to completely coat well.
- Store in an airtight container with a small bowl of uncooked rice next to them. The rice will help absorb moisture to keep the cranberries fresh for a couple of days. You can also always toss them with more sugar if they start getting sticky.
Notes
- These sugared cranberries can be used in so many ways, but I love them as a garnish to my Cranberry Coconut Cake or on pumpkin pie best.
- You can also use cane sugar or sugar in the raw for a slightly larger sugar crystal.
