The easiest 2-ingredient Sugared Cranberries recipe with just 3 easy steps for a beautiful, sparkly, festive candied cranberry decoration for cakes, cocktails and more.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar divided use
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water. Cook until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and allow syrup to cool to room temperature. (If you want to cool it quickly, pour it into a large mixing bowl and stick it in the fridge or freezer).
- Stir cranberries into the cooled syrup, then use a slotted spoon to fish them out, letting excess syrup drip off. Transfer cranberries to a wire rack. Place remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a sieve and dust over the cranberries, shaking them around on the rack to get all angles. Let them sit there for about 30 minutes, until sugar hardens.
