Ingredients
- 12 Ounces Fresh Cranberries
- ¾ Cup Water
- 1 Cup Sugar 3/4 cup for the mixture, plus 1/4 cup for rolling the cranberries in. You can also substitute with granulated monk fruit for a sugar-free alternative!
Instructions
- Start by heating a medium saucepan, on the stove, over medium heat, and add in your water and sugar.
- Whisk the water and sugar until they are fully combined and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Next, add in the cranberries and cook them over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, being careful to NOT overcook. You do not want your cranberries to be soft and mushy!
- Once your cranberries are cooked, remove them from the heat and use a slotted spoon to add the cranberries to a baking sheet.
- Allow your cranberries to air dry for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once your cranberries are dry, toss them in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, until they are fully coated.
- Finally, transfer your cranberries to mason jars, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to one week.
