Time 15m

12 ounces fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 cup sugar

Tips:

  • Toast the sesame seeds before using to enhance their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Use rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a tangy flavor. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use white vinegar.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette to your liking. You can add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
  • Use the vinaigrette immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
