Step 1

Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.

Step 2

Stir in cranberries and stir to coat all cranberries. Use a slotted spoon and transfer cranberries to a wire rack (set it on top of a lined baking sheet for easy clean up). Reserve syrup if you want - it's great to sweeten cocktails!

Step 3

Let cranberries dry for 1 hour. After one hour, roll cranberries in remaining sugar until completely coated.

Step 4

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
