Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cranberries and cashews will give your clusters the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture: The sugar mixture should be cooked to a light amber color. If you overcook it, it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Be careful when adding the nuts and cranberries: The sugar mixture is very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Add the nuts and cranberries slowly and stir constantly to coat them evenly.
  • Spread the clusters out on a baking sheet: This will help them to cool and harden evenly.
  • Let the clusters cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Cashew clusters with dried cranberries are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these tasty treats that everyone will love.
