Ingredients

  • ½ cup (125 g) water
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, rinsed and dried

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add water and ½ cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow to simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Remove the pan from heat. Add the cranberries and stir to coat.
  • To a medium bowl, add the remaining cup of sugar.
  • Using a slotted spoon, work in batches to drain any excess syrup from the cranberries. Transfer the cranberries to the bowl of sugar. Use a separate dry spoon (or your hands) to toss and coat the cranberries in sugar.
  • Place the sugar-coated cranberries onto the prepared parchment sheet to dry (about 1 hour).
