A Sprinkle of This and That: Sugared Cranberries

Need something to pop in your mouth?

How about something to give as a gift?

Looking for a way to dress up a dessert?

Then you need Sugared Cranberries!

Sugared Cranberries are the perfect holiday snack.

Not only do they look gorgeous, but there is a delightful contrast between the sugary outside and the tart inside. Wait until you see just how easy they are to make!

Ingredients from myrecipes.com:

2 cups granulated sugar

2 cups water

2 cups fresh cranberries

3/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling the cranberries

Directions:

In a saucepan over low heat, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar and water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and then remove from heat. (Do not boil because you do not want the cranberries to pop.) Stir in cranberries. Pour all into a bowl and refrigerate overnight.

Drain the cranberries. Place the 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Add the drained cranberries and roll in the sugar to coat. Spread the cranberies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Let stand until dry (approximated 1-2 hours).
