Number Of Ingredients 2

2 1/2 cups/500 grams sugar
3 cups/285 grams fresh cranberries

  • Add a little citrus: A little bit of citrus, such as orange or lemon zest, can help to brighten up the flavor of the cranberries.
  • Serve the cranberries warm or cold: Sugar-n-spice cranberries can be served warm or cold. They are delicious on their own, or they can be used as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream.
