Sugared Cranberries


Recipe

Use fresh cranberries, not frozen. The sugar syrup doesn’t coat evenly on the frozen berries, leaving you with ugly, shriveled cranberries.

If you're alarmed by putting sugar on a fruit, you really don't know how tart raw cranberries are lol. I made these for a Friendsgiving and lots of ladies had never had cranberries before outside of juice cocktails and jams, and they made funny faces while eating them lol, but I really like them. I've tried raw cranberries before, though, and it was scary tbh like biting into battery acid.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) fresh cranberries*
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) water

Steps

  • Place cranberries in a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of sugar and the water to a boil and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove pan from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Pour sugar syrup over the cranberries and stir.
  • Let the cranberries sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight (ideal). You’ll notice the sugar syrup is quite thick after this amount of time.
  • Drain the cranberries from the syrup and pour 1 cup of sugar on top.
  • Toss the cranberries, coating them all the way around.
  • Pour the sugared cranberries on a parchment paper or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet and let them dry for at least 2 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
