Calories:
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ cup water
In a sauce pan; add 1 c of sugar and water. Turn the heat to low-medium and let simmer for 3-4 minutes or until sugar dissolves and thickens. Add cranberries and mix everything together until they are coated with simple syrup; this should take about 1 minute. Be careful not letting the cranberries burst. Transfer the sticky cranberries to a baking sheet with parchment paper and let cool for 1 hour.
Place sticky cranberries in a container and add the other 1 cup of sugar. Place the lid over and gently shake the cranberries until all of them are coated with sugar. If 2 cranberries are sticking together, gently separate them from each other and repeat the process. Transfer the sugared cranberries to a clean parchment paper and let cool for 1 hour. Store in a container until ready to use.
