Sugared Cranberries
Simple to make, but plan ahead because the candied cranberries need to rest at room temperature for an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
Directions
- Make a simple syrup by heating 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a simmer and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
- Place the fresh cranberries in the simple syrup and steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain, reserving the syrup. Separate the cranberries and place on a piece of parchment paper on a wire cooling rack. Allow to dry at room temperature for one hour.
- Place the remaining sugar on a plate and transfer the dried cranberries to the plate, rolling the cranberries in the sugar to coat.
Notes: Use reserved simple syrup for other fun cocktails and mocktails
