cups
Sugared Cranberries add sweetness and sparkle to holiday desserts! Coated in a crisp layer of sugar, they’re a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Top desserts, garnish cocktails, or serve as a snack!
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cranberries (12-ounce bag)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Sort the cranberries and discard any bruised or bad ones. Rinse the cranberries under cold water.
- Combine 3/4 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat.
- Add the cranberries to the saucepan, ensuring they are fully coated in the syrup. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cranberries to a wire rack. Spread them out so they aren’t touching. Let them dry for about 1 hour until they are no longer wet but still slightly sticky.
- Place the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar in a shallow dish. Working in batches, roll the cranberries in the sugar until evenly coated.
- Allow the sugared cranberries to dry on a clean baking sheet for another hour before serving or using as a garnish.
