Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Add the fresh cranberries to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. You’ll see the cranberries start to soften and their skins may start to crack.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberries sit in the simple syrup for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours.
  • Gently drain the cranberries in a colander, discarding the simple syrup. Let them drain for a few minutes to remove excess syrup.
  • Spread a generous layer of granulated sugar on a baking sheet or large plate. Working in small batches, roll the drained cranberries in the sugar, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • Place the sugared cranberries on a wire rack to dry for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the sugar coating to harden and adhere properly.
