📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare Cranberries: Place the fresh cranberries into a medium, heat-safe bowl and set aside.
2
Make Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the water and ¾ cup of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and let cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
3
Soak Cranberries: Pour the warm syrup over the cranberries. Stir to coat, then cover the bowl and let them soak for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
4
First Drying Stage: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let them air dry for ⏱️ 1 hour until they become sticky.
5
Coat with Sugar: Pour the remaining ½ cup of sugar into a clean bowl. Add the sticky cranberries and gently toss until they are all completely coated.
6
Final Drying Stage: Spread the sugar-coated cranberries back onto the lined baking sheet. Let them dry for at least one more hour, or until the sugar coating is hard and crisp.
