I can’t believe I’d never tasted sugared cranberries until yesterday. Why didn’t I know about these sweet, tart, sparkly, little nuggets of goodness? Why doesn’t everybody know about them? My mission today is to spread the word so these little berries get the recognition they deserve!
Ingredients
4 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 cups fresh cranberries
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring two cups of water to a boil. Stir in two cups of the sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. The finished product is simple syrup. Let the simple syrup cool for a few minutes. Place the cranberries in a bowl and pour the syrup over them. Let the cranberries sit for 4-6 hours or even overnight. Stir them occasionally. Pour the remaining two cups of sugar into a bowl. Drain the cranberries from the simple syrup.
Add the cranberries, in batches, to the sugar. Toss them with the sugar until the are coated all the way around.
Place the sugared cranberries on a parchment lined tray and let them dry for about two hours.
They are so pretty!
And they are so GOOD!
I served them last night at a party, and they were perfect on top of a Triscuit with a slice of brie cheese. Or you can just eat them by the handful. Which several of my guests did! They also made a beautiful drink garnish a Pomegranate Fizz or any holiday beverage.

These look so wonderful and the recipe is easy enough to follow. I shared it to my Pinterest board. Found you via the SITS Sharefest and would be thrilled if you visited my blog as well.

I’d never even heard of sugared cranberries before! Now I know what to do with all my leftovers from cranberry nut bread!
I love cranberries as well and have never tried them sugared
It looks like it snowed on the cranberries. So lovely. I don’t usually like straight cranberries, but I will probably try these. They look so good.
Thanks for stopping by, Kellie!
These look very Good!! I have never tried these and will have to do this at home! Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty!
Can you make these two days ahead, or do they need to be served within a few hours? I could imagine the sugar would melt quickly at room temperature.
You can definitely make these 2 days ahead!!!
if you make them in advance to you keep in an airtight container or refridgerate them.
Do you cook the cranberries at all before soaking them in the simple syrup?
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’ve made them twice now over the past couple of weeks and they are very addictive!
