Sugared Cranberries
Sugared Cranberries make a festive addition to your holiday desserts. With just three ingredients they are so simple to make!
Equipment
- saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- slotted spoon
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cranberries washed and dried
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water and ½ cup of sugar.
- Heat over medium-low, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). Bring to a boil and let simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly before adding the cranberries.
- Add the cranberries to the warm syrup, stirring gently to coat.
- Let the cranberries sit in the syrup for 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cranberries, allowing any excess syrup to drip off and then place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread out.
- Let the cranberries dry for 1 hour.
- Place ½ cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish or plate.
- Roll the syrup-coated cranberries a few at a time in the sugar, ensuring each one is completely covered.
- Arrange the sugared cranberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.
- Allow the sugared cranberries to dry on the parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 1-2 hours.
