Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)
- 2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the fresh cranberries. Stir gently to coat them evenly with the simple syrup.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cranberries to a wire rack lined with parchment paper. Ensure the cranberries are spaced out to dry evenly.
- Let the cranberries air dry completely for at least 1 hour, or until they are no longer sticky.
- Place the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish or bowl.
- Working in small batches, gently toss the dried cranberries in the sugar until they are completely coated.
- Place the sugared cranberries back on the wire rack to allow the sugar coating to harden. This may take another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Once the sugar coating has hardened, store the sugared cranberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
