Time 20m

Yield 12 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 2

12 ounces cranberries, fresh
2/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pick over cranberries to remove any stems.
  • Toss with sugar and spread on a foil lined (or silpat lined) sheet pan.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes.
  • Cool and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cranberries for candying. Avoid any that are soft or bruised.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly before candying. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven for candying the cranberries. This will give them plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Stir the cranberries frequently while they are cooking. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pot or burning.
  • Cook the cranberries until they are plump and slightly translucent. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the cranberries well after cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming too sticky.
  • Roll the cranberries in sugar while they are still warm. This will help the sugar to adhere to the cranberries.
  • Store the candied cranberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied cranberries are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be eaten on their own, added to trail mix or granola, or used as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
