Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz.) Bag of fresh cranberries

Instructions

  • 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.
