These sugared cranberries are perfect for the holidays. FrenchToasty.com has lots of yummy holiday recipes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cups superfine sugar

Note

If you don't have super fine sugar then add some granulated sugar to a food processor and pulse until it's super fine. You could also add orange zest to the sugar before placing in the food processor to add extra flavor.

This goes great paired along a cheese and cracker platter or just as a snack.

They also travel well!

Directions

Step 1

Drain the cranberries in a colander and pick out stems and any mushy ones. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine granulated sugar and water in a small pan and heat over low. (making a simple syrup) Mix consistently until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Do not boil the liquid.

Step 3

Once the liquid isn't SUPER hot stir in the cranberries and pour into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours-overnight.

Step 4

Drain cranberries in a colander over a bowl, to reserve liquid if wanted to use in something else.

Step 5

Place superfine sugar in a bowl or shallow dish. Add the cranberries, rolling to coat.

Step 6

Place cranberries on a cookie sheet at room temperature for 1 hour until they are dry.

So delicious to just pop in your mouth!
