Nothing screams "the holidays" more than snow, so adding a snowy element to all of your favorite holiday creations is the perfect way to get into the spirit! These Perfect Frosted Cranberries are not only a sweet and delicious addition to your holiday desserts, appetizers, or cheese boards, but they also add a beautiful festive touch to any dish. Plus, they make the perfect holiday gift!

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.
