Tips:

  • When selecting cranberries, choose firm, plump berries that are deep red in color. Avoid any berries that are soft, bruised, or have green spots.
  • To make the sugared cranberries, use a large bowl to toss the cranberries and sugar together. Make sure the cranberries are evenly coated.
  • Spread the sugared cranberries in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help them dry evenly.
  • Bake the sugared cranberries in a preheated oven at 200°F for 1 hour, or until the cranberries are completely dry and crystallized.
  • To make the sage leaves, rinse the leaves under cold water and pat them dry. Then, place the leaves on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until the leaves are crispy.
  • Use the sugared cranberries and sage leaves to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. They can also be used to add a festive touch to holiday drinks.
