Sugared Cranberries
Sugared cranberries are a dazzling blend of tart and sweet, perfect for adding a festive touch to any occasion. With just 15 minutes of prep and a quick 5-minute cook time, they’re surprisingly simple to make, though a 2-hour wait ensures they’re perfectly crystallized.
Ingredients
- ½ cup water 118 ml
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100 g
- 3 ½ cups fresh cranberries 340 g, 12 oz bag, rinsed and patted dry (pick over the berries and discard any wrinkled/bad ones)
For rolling
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar 300 g
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together water and ½ cup (100g) sugar until sugar is completely dissolved (this will take several minutes.
- Add cranberries and stir until all berries have been coated all over with the simple syrup mixture.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove cranberries from the syrup and lay on a wire cooling rack (tip: place wax paper underneath to catch any sticky drips). Try to space them so they’re not touching, as they’ll stick together. Allow to dry for 1 hour before proceeding.
- Place remaining granulated sugar in a bowl and, working in batches, toss cranberries in the sugar until well-coated all over. Using a slotted spoon, remove cranberries from bowl and return to wire rack or a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and for best results allow to dry for another hour before using.
