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