Candied Cranberries

Step 1

Combine the cranberries, 7Up and orange juice in a large bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. It is important to wait the full 24 hours so that the juices penetrate through the cranberry skin and fully absorb.

Step 2

After the cranberries have soaked, preheat your oven to 200ºF.

Step 3

Drain the cranberries in a colander and place in a large Ziplok bag. Add the powdered sugar and shake really well until the cranberries are all fully coated in sugar.

Step 4

Transfer the coated cranberries to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. If there is extra sugar, you can put the cranberries into a colander and shake out the excess sugar.

Step 5

Bake for just 5 minutes. If you bake too long, or the temperature of the oven is too high, the cranberries can dry out. Use an oven thermometer to ensure the temperature of your oven is not above 200ºF.

Step 6

Allow to cool, then place the cranberries into a serving dish or use as desired.
