Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh cranberries
  • ¾ cup sugar divided ½ + ¼
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Rinse cranberries and discard any less than perfect.
  • When sugar is dissolved remove pan from heat and add cranberries. Stir gently to coat cranberries.
  • Transfer cranberries to a cooling rack set over a pan or parchment. This will allow excess syrup to drain off. Allow cranberries to dry approximately one hour.
  • Gently roll sticky cranberries in the sugar a few at a time. Transfer to a plate covered with parchment paper. Keep them to a single layer. Allow cranberries to dry another hour or so.
  • Transfer to your dessert recipe, serving bowl or an air tight container if you plan to store them a few days.
