  • Roll the cranberries in sugar in batches. This will help to ensure that all of the cranberries are evenly coated.
  • If you want to make colored frosted cranberries, use different colored sugars. You can also add spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to the sugar for extra flavor.
  • Let the frosted cranberries dry completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the frosted cranberries in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
