Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• ½ cup water
• 8 ounce bag fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked through
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

Directions

• Place a large wire rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
• Place ½ cup of the granulated sugar in a saucepan with the water. Heat over medium low until the sugar dissolves. Add the cranberries and stir until well coated, and using a slotted spoon, place on the wire rack. Let stand 1 hour until dried.
• Place the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl and toss with the orange zest until thoroughly combined. Roll the cranberries in the sugar until well coated and place back on the wire rack and let stand for another hour or so at room temperature to dry.
• Store the cranberries at room temperature loosely covered for 2-3 days -- if you place in an airtight container the sugar will dissolve. Enjoy!
