A little sweet, a little tart, and just as delicious as they are pretty. Sugared cranberries can be served as a snack or used to decorate your favorite holiday desserts. Top cakes, pies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, or cookies with sweet, colorful little cranberries that look like they are lightly frosted in snow. Add them to a dish or eat them alone for a sweet & tart snack.
Enjoy as a Snack or For Decorating
No baking, no prep, and minimal clean-up means sugared cranberries can be ready within minutes. Or make sugared cranberries in advance and freeze them so they can go directly onto a dessert or a drink! Make sugared cranberries to garnish any holiday meal or beverage. Pop a few in clear glasses of hot homemade apple cider with slices of orange or add to Celebration Punch! Celebrate the New Year with a glass of bubbly & sugared cranberries! Use fresh sprigs of rosemary and sugared cranberries as a festive garnish on the top of a cheesecake. Or set along the side of a roast turkey like this Herb Roasted Turkey Breast Recipe.
Ingredients & Variations
CRANBERRIES Sugaring berries and fruits is super easy! Fresh or frozen cranberries are used in this recipe, but the same sugaring process can be used for other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and orange slices. SUGAR Any granulated sugar that’s on hand will do, including sugar-in-the-raw. Superfine sugar melts faster and will coat the cranberries more thoroughly, but larger, coarser grains of sugar will reflect the light better. I sometimes use a combination.
