Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water

- Remove from heat and let the cranberries sit in the syrup for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.

- Place about 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl. Roll the drained cranberries in the sugar, coating them completely.
- Place the sugared cranberries on a wire rack to dry for at least 1 hour, or until the sugar coating is hardened.

Notes
For a festive touch, use colored sugar to coat the cranberries. They are best served within a few days of making them.
