It’s easy to find fresh cranberries at almost any grocery store this time of year!
Here is the recipe:
Heat 1/2 c. water and 1/2 c. sugar in a pot on medium heat.
Once sugar is dissolved add the fresh cranberries
Stir until cranberries are coated, about 2 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon and remove cranberries from the pan onto a cooling rack, I placed parchment paper below to catch the drippings.
Allow cranberries to cool and dry, about 1 hour.
After an hour cranberries will be very sticky. Add cranberries to a bowl of sugar in small batches (use the remaining sugar) and spoon sugar over cranberries.
Remove from bowl and place on plate, or into a storage container.
If not using right away, store sugared cranberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
