Ingredients
- 1¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 cups fresh cranberries , see note 1
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine ¼ cup sugar with ¼ cup water. Simmer on low heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring from time to time.
- Meanwhile: Rinse the cranberries and remove any bruised ones or soft ones (these are more likely to be gone off).
- When the simple syrup is ready (all sugar is dissolved), add in the cranberries and stir. You want to make sure that all of them are coated in the syrup.
- Transfer them onto a wire rack (tip: place a baking parchment under - it will catch all the excess syrup. You can simply throw it in the trash afterward). Spread them around - try to separate them, if possible. Let them sit on your kitchen counter for 1-1.5 hours.
- Put the rest of the granulated sugar (1 cup) in a bowl and throw some cranberries in. Shake the bowl to coat them in sugar (do this in batches of about 6). Repeat until you have coated all cranberries in sugar.
- You can serve them right away!
Notes
- Two cups fresh cranberries = 6 ounces (180 grams).
- You will need superfine sugar - with small crystals for best results.
- The overall time does not include the passive time of 1 - 1.5 hours during which the cranberries are sitting at your kitchen counter.
