Making sugared cranberries couldn't be easier using three simple ingredients: fresh cranberries, sugar and water!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup granulated white sugar, divided
- ½ cup water
- 12 ounce package of fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Add ½ cup sugar and water to a large skillet with high sides and melt over medium heat until the the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cranberries to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Gently move the cranberries around and make sure they're fully coated.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the cranberries out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack placed over parchment paper. I like to line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then place the wire rack over both.
- Wait 30-45 minutes for the simple syrup coating to bind the the cranberries
- Roll the cranberries in the remaining sugar, making sure to coat the berries evenly.
Notes
You should use as fresh cranberries as possible for this recipe. However, I've found that cranberries that are starting to wrinkle work well for this recipe as well because they fill out again during the cooking process and any blemishes are covered by the sugar. Storage These can be used immediately to garnish holiday drinks and desserts. Store any unused sugared cranberries at room temperature for three to four days.
