Sparkly sugared cranberries

Sugared cranberries from @bijouxandbits

Fresh cranberries are divine, though super tart. Seriously tart. What’s the antidote for too much tartness? You guess it: sugar!

Sugared cranberries from @bijouxandbits

These sugared cranberries are soaked in simple syrup (sugar + water) for as many hours as you can stand so that their inherent mouth-puckering tartness mellows into a tart sweetness, perfect for popping into your gob one at a time or for topping things and making them super sparkly and purty.

I’m planning to use these on top of a holiday-themed cheesecake (coming soon!), but you can use them to top ice cream, holiday cocktails, crumbles, and even savory dishes that need a hint of sweetness.

Just note that if you leave them out long enough, someone will likely eat the whole batch plain. They’re like Sour Patch Kids. Be forewarned!

Sparkly sugared cranberries

Sparkly sugared cranberries

Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh cranberries, rinsed well
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a simmer.
  2. Simmer until sugar is fully dissolved and syrup is very clear.
  3. Pour into a bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in cranberries, cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours (aim for at least 8 hours), stirring a few times throughout to coat the berries well.
  5. Remove cranberries from syrup and spread evenly on a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. If you like, reserve the syrup for another recipe.
  7. Lightly sprinkle cranberries with remaining sugar, flipping to coat all sides.
  8. Once coated, roll berries in a small bowl with more sugar until evenly coated with another thin layer.
  9. Return berries to baking sheet and let dry for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
