Sugared Cranberries
Yield: 2 cups
These sugared cranberries are great for decorating holiday-inspired desserts. With only three ingredients, these sugared cranberries come together in no time at all and are a perfect pop of color and flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (118 ml) water
- 2 cups (200 g) fresh cranberries
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, stir together ½ cup of granulated sugar and water. Place over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and remove from the heat.
- Add the fresh cranberries to the hot sugar syrup and stir to coat. Let the cranberries sit in the sugar syrup, mixing occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a fine mesh strainer or slotted spoon to drain the cranberries out of the sugar syrup and spread onto the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the additional ½ cup of granulated sugar onto the cranberries. Gently toss the cranberries around in the sugar. Carefully transfer the sugar-coated cranberries to a wire rack to dry for 1 hour.
