Yield approx. 25 candy clusters

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 bag fresh or frozen cranberries
white chocolate for dipping - white chocolate chips work fine

Steps:

  • 1. Boil sugar and water over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until sugar is a light amber color. (It's hard crack or approx. 300* on candy thermometer - although I don't use the thermometer - I go solely by the color.) This may take 30-45 minutes. 2. Remove pan from burner. (I usually tilt the pan a bit, putting a rolled kitchen towel under one side. It makes the liquid deeper and doesn't cool off as quickly.) CAREFULLY Drop 4-6 cranberries into amber liquid. Gather together into a cluster and remove with 2 forks. Place on lightly greased rack to cool. (You will use several pairs of forks - they get coated with candy quickly and don't work as well.) Repeat until you're out of cranberries or the sugar is to cool and hardened to work well. You cannot reheat the sugar. 3. When cool, gently remove from cooling rack, trying not to break the candy so that the cranberry juice leaks out. 4. Dip the bottom of each cluster into the melted white chocolate. Let dry on parchment paper.
