Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries (340g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating, 200g)

Instructions:

  1. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
  2. Gently fold the cranberries into the warm simple syrup, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cranberries to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer.
  4. While the cranberries are still wet, sprinkle them generously with granulated sugar, ensuring they are completely covered.
  5. Let the sugared cranberries dry at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until the sugar coating has hardened. Rotate the baking sheet occasionally for even drying. The sugar should be dry to the touch.
