How to Make Sugared Cranberries
First, gather what you need to make these before you start and divide your sugar. I used Raw Organic Sugar, but you can always use regular granulated sugar, it’ll just give you a slightly different look but works the same way.
Combine even amounts of sugar and water to create a simple syrup. Heat in a sauce pan over medium heat until dissolved completely and starts to boil.
Add the cranberries to your simple syrup and coat completely.
Divide remaining sugar into two bowls and work with just a few cranberries at a time. First put the coated cranberries in a bowl of sugar to get a good first coat.
Then transfer the cranberries to another bowl of sugar to get a second coat.
Put on a cooling rack to dry completely
Store cranberries in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them, eat them, or use them as a garnish!
Sugared Cranberries Recipe
*Yields 1 Cup of Sugared Cranberries*
Sugared Cranberries Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1 and 1/4 cup raw organic sugar (divided)
1 cup cranberries (washed)
Sugared Cranberry Directions:
Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar in a sauce pan and heat on medium heat.
Once sugar is dissolved completely and starts to boil, remove from heat and add cranberries to the mixture and coat completely.
In two bowls, divide the 1 cup of sugar.
Spoon cranberries into one of the bowls of sugar and coat.
Then using a fork or your fingers, roll cranberries a few at a time in the other bowl of sugar to get it even more coated with dry sugar.
Place cranberries on a cooling rack to dry completely. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
*Note: you can use regular granulated sugar, I just like the look of raw organic sugar once it dries.
