Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup superfine sugar (for coating)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the cranberries to the saucepan and stir gently to coat them with the syrup. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberries cool in the syrup for 10 minutes.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to drain excess syrup.
5. Allow the cranberries to dry for about 10 minutes until slightly sticky to touch.
6. Place the superfine sugar in a shallow bowl. Add a few cranberries at a time and gently roll them in the sugar until evenly coated. Transfer the coated cranberries back to the wire rack.
7. Let the sugared cranberries dry for at least 1 hour or until the sugar coating hardens.
8. Once dry, store the sugared cranberries in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
