Description
Bring on the Holiday cheer with sparkling sugared cranberries. Dipped in red wine to be extra special. Delicious alone or as decorations!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup red wine or cranberry sangria (125ml, + enough to cover the berries)
- 12 oz fresh cranberries (340g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar, 100g)
Instructions
- Cover the cranberries in red wine or cranberry sangria overnight, cover with a lid or foil and store in the refrigerator.
- Set aside the cranberries and take 1/2 cup of the red wine and pour it into a saucepan. Add in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and on medium low heat, let the sugar dissolve while stirring. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, then add in the cranberries again.
- At this point you can also add in fresh rosemary if you want, do the same, just don't soak it overnight.
- Let them drain before placing on parchment paper or a plate, in a single layer without touching each other, for about 20 minutes, or until they are dry but sticky.
- In a shallow bowl or a plate, pour in superfine caster sugar. Dip a few cranberries at a time, roll them in the sugar and let them dry again in a single layer. About 20-30 minutes, and then they can be placed together in a bowl, or used as garnish on a cake or in a cocktail!
Notes
I prefer to store these on the counter, for about 1 week or until they have gone bad. The sugar melts in the refrigerator.
