    Candied Cranberries

    Course Dessert

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups sugar divided
    • ½ cup water
    • 12 ounces fresh cranberries washed

    Instructions

    • Combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
    • Stir in cranberries and stir to coat all cranberries. Use a slotted spoon and transfer cranberries to a wire rack (set it on top of a lined baking sheet for easy clean up). Reserve syrup if you want – it's great to sweeten cocktails!
    • Let cranberries dry for 1 hour. After one hour, roll cranberries in remaining sugar until completely coated.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    • These may start to “weep” some liquid after 2-3 days. If that happens, you can re-roll them in sugar to extend their life.
    • Use on charcuterie platters, baked brie, atop desserts or cocktails.
    • Use vanilla bean or orange zest to vary the flavor.
