How to Make Sugared Cranberries
- Combine 1 cup cane sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 5 whole cloves, and 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 7.5 ounces (approximately 213 grams) of fresh cranberries to the saucepan.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to pop and soften slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the cranberries cool completely in the saucepan.
- Once cooled, transfer the cranberries and the syrup to a glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cranberries to fully absorb the flavor.
- Drain the cranberries, reserving the syrup (strain out the cinnamon sticks and cloves). Use the syrup as a delicious addition to cocktails like Cosmos or Cape Cods.
- Gently toss the drained cranberries with ½ cup of superfine sugar in a large bowl until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the sugared cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the cranberries air dry for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely dry and the sugar has formed a delicate crust.
