These beautiful sugared cranberries are the perfect wintery, festive food garnish to wow your guests.
- 1 (12 oz.) Bag of fresh cranberries
- 2 cups Sugar, divided
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved (around 2-3 minutes).
Turn heat off and wait a few minutes. Then stir in cranberries until well coated, careful not to leave them in too long. The skin will pop off if they get too hot.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer cranberries to a wire rack and let dry for at least 1 hour.
Working in batches, roll cranberries in remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar until well coated; let dry for at least 1 hour.
