Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries and remove any stems or bruised berries.
- In a medium saucepan, combine water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cranberries to the sugar syrup and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the skins just begin to crack.
- Remove from heat and let the cranberries sit in the syrup for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
- Drain the cranberries well, discarding the syrup.
- Place the remaining 1 cup of sugar in a bowl. Add the drained cranberries and toss to coat them evenly.
- Spread the sugared cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let them dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until the sugar coating is firm and dry to the touch.
Notes
For a festive touch, use colored sanding sugar instead of granulated sugar for coating the cranberries.
