Sugared Cranberry Recipe makes a festive garnish to many holiday recipes!
These pretty sugared fruits are darling dropped into cocktails, on a cheese platter or dotted around a rosemary wreath. Any recipe featuring cranberries could be adorned with these little gems.
In fact, I made this batch in preparation for my virtual Bûche De Noël class I am hosting next Tuesday, December 15th. I can’t take you to France right now, but I can help you bring a little bit of French tradition to your holiday tables. Sugared cranberries will give a vibrant pop of color to the Christmas Yule Log cake. Join me for this fun 1 hour class and learn ALL of the neat tricks to making this time honored French Dessert.
Making sugared cranberry recipe is a simple process. Start by heating sugar and water in a small sauce pan until the sugar dissolves. Drop fresh cranberries into the pan to coat with the syrup. 
Let the syrup soaked cranberries dry for 1 hour before rolling them in more sugar. It’s that simple!
Sugared Cranberries
2 cups sugar, divided
½ cup water
1 12-ounce package of fresh cranberries
In a medium saucepan, heat water and ½ cup sugar. Stir the mixture often until sugar is dissolved. Remove the sugar mixture from the heat and add cranberries. Toss to coat well. Remove cranberries with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack to dry for 1 hour. Add remaining sugar to a plate and roll cranberries in the sugar. Let them dry on a parchment lined counter for 2 hours. Store cranberries in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If they begin to weep, give them another coating of sugar.
Enjoy Sugared Cranberry Recipe a festive garnish for all your holiday recipes.
