Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 cups washed and sorted fresh cranberries
• 1 cup super fine granulated sugar
• zest from 3 limes

Directions

• In a small sauce pot, mix sugar and water together.
• Stir over low heat on the stove top til barely simmering.
• Remove from heat.
• Test by dropping in a cranberry or two. (If the cranberry pops open, its still too hot.)
• Add remaining cranberries and stir.
• Transfer to a covered plastic container and refrigerate about eight hours.
• Drain cranberries in a colander, reserving the simple syrup for another use.
• Roll in lime sugar.
• Spread lime zest on baking sheet.
• Bake at 100 degrees for ten minutes.
• Make superfine granulated sugar by placing sugar in blender or food processor and pulsing once or twice.
• (Go slowly, the more you pulse the finer it becomes.)
• Mix cooled lime zest and sugar together.
• Store in an airtight container.
• The lime sugar flavor intensifies the longer it sits.
• (A couple days, or even a week, is nice before you roll the cranberries in it.)
• Place lime sugar on baking sheet or in shallow baking pan.
• Roll cranberries in lime sugar to coat.
• Let dry on a baking sheet at room temperature for about an hour.
• Store in a semi-airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
