Sugared Cranberries
Sugared Cranberries are the perfect festive garnish for so many treats. Made with just cranberries, sugar, and water, this easy to make sparkling garnish is a beautiful way to elevate your desserts and cocktails or it can be enjoyed as a snack all on its own.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar divided
- 2 cups fresh cranberries rinsed and dried
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, place the water and a 3/4 cup of sugar. Simmer together for about 5 minutes, whisking often until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cranberries to ensure they are coated well in the syrup. Let them soak in the syrup for about 10 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to cool for 1 hour.
- Place the remaining sugar in a bowl. Working in small batches, roll the cranberries into the sugar. The cranberries will be sticky and so the sugar should easily adhere to them.
- Enjoy the sugared cranberries as a snack or add them as a garnish to desserts.
