Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 cups cranberries, picked over
2 cups water
2 cups sugar (see head notes)
More sugar for coating: I do a mix of medium-grained organic sugar for the first coating, and then a second toss with regular granulated white sugar. You don't want a huge grain for that first toss, just something larger than standard sugar, smaller than most turbinado sugars. You can sort of see the different grain sizes in the third photo in the main write-up.

Steps:

Place the cranberries in a medium glass bowl and set aside. Make a simple syrup by bringing the water and sugar just to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Let the syrup cool for a couple minutes and then pour it over the cranberries. If the syrup is too hot the cranberries will burst, so be careful. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, drain the cranberries and toss them with larger grained sugar until they are well coated. I only use a scoop of sugar at a time, and small batches of cranberries, so the sugar doesn't get too damp. Place the coated cranberries on a baking sheet to dry for a few hours. Do a second toss with the regular granulated sugar, this typically takes care of any sticky spots on the cranberries. Let dry another hour. Makes 2 cups of sparkling cranberries.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS
1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup water
2 ounces Crown Royal Maple
granulated sugar for coating

Steps:

Place brown sugar, water and Crown Royal Maple in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, do not boil. Remove from heat, stir in cranberries, cover and refrigerate overnight. Place about a cup of sugar in a large bowl or cake pan. In small batches, strain excess liquid from cranberries and roll in sugar. Transfer to a baking sheet to dry in a single layer. After cranberries have dried for about an hour, repeat rolling in sugar to thoroughly coat any remaining liquid. Transfer back to baking sheet to dry for at least another hour. Once dry, store in an airtight container in a cool location. Remaining liquid can be bottled and refrigerated as a delicious simple syrup. http://bakelovegive.com/boozy-sparkling-cranberries/
