- 3 Cups Fresh Cranberries 1 - 12 oz Package
- 1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Water
Rinse the fresh cranberries in a colander and shake off the excess water.
The cranberries need to be dry, so the syrup sticks to them. I roll them on a couple of layers of paper towel to dry them quickly.
In a medium saucepan bring 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar to a boil on medium high heat, stirring constantly so the sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the cranberries and stir to coat them.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir another minute.
Remove the cranberries with a slotted spoon before they burst. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry for 1 hour.
Roll the sticky cranberries in the remaining sugar to coat.
Sugar coated cranberries can be made a day ahead and kept lightly covered at room temperature.
