Instructions

Combine ½ cup of granulated sugar with ½ cup of water in a small saucepan.
Place over medium heat and stir gently until all sugar has dissolved, creating a clear syrup.
Once sugar is dissolved, bring the syrup to a gentle boil for 1 minute.
Remove pan from heat and let the syrup cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Gently add fresh cranberries to the slightly cooled syrup and stir to ensure an even coat.
Let cranberries sit in the syrup for about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, lift cranberries out of the syrup, allowing extra liquid to drip back into the pan.
Place the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar in a shallow bowl.
Roll the syrup-coated cranberries in the sugar until completely covered and sparkly.
Spread sugared cranberries on a wire rack or parchment paper and let them dry completely (1-2 hours).

Notes

Can be made a day or two in advance. They get firmer as they sit. Best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal crunch.
