Sparkly Sugared Cranberries are the edible gems of the holiday season! I’ve been meaning to share them here for some time now ~ an now the time is just right.
Here’s how to make beautiful sugared cranberries which are the perfect adornment to so many festive treats…
It’s amazing that all you need for these beauties is just fresh cranberries, water & sugar.
Step 1: Prepare a simple syrup sugar bath with 2 cups white sugar & 2 cups water. Combine in a saucepan & bring to a simmer. Do not bring to a boil. Make sure sugar dissolves completely in the water by stirring well.
Step 2: Cool the syrup to room temperature, otherwise the cranberries will pop & you will be well on our way to cranberry sauce. Soak the fresh cranberries in the cooled sugar syrup, in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight. Make sure you have a plate or something gently pressing on the cranberries so they stay submerged.
Step 3: Remove the soaked cranberries from the fridge. Place on a cookie cooling rack on top of a baking pan to drain for 1 hour. The cranberries will become tacky so the sugar will stick & they will sparkle!
Step 4: Add the 3/4 cup sugar to a bowl. Roll a handful of cranberries at a time to coat with the sugar.
Step 5: Place the sugared cranberries on the cooling rack again to dry for one hour.
