For such a simple recipe, the end result is exceptionally delicious. The soak in the sugar syrup tames the bitterness of the cranberries, and the sugar coating is a crunchy contrast. You've been warned - these are extremely addictive.

Sugared cranberries
I hope everyone had a happy holiday! This is another one of those recipes that's been getting rave reviews around the internet lately. I had a bag of cranberries in the freezer, which I thawed to make these sugared cranberries. This recipe is really simple - a warm sugar syrup is poured over cranberries, which then marinate in the liquid overnight. The sugar syrup should not be boiling - you don't want the cranberries to pop. The next day, the liquid is drained away and the berries are rolled in superfine sugar to coat. I didn't have any superfine sugar in the house, so I ran some regular granulated sugar through the food processor. It seemed to work just fine. The sugared cranberries need at least an hour to dry - I let mine set up for the better part of a day.

Such beautiful cranberries!!
I haven't seen this anywhere -- what a great idea! They look very inviting. PS I never buy superfine sugar -- I always just run the sugar through the FP.
They look so pretty! YUM!!
Ooh yum thanks for the recipe! Must try these out... they'd be good in anything!
I love cranberries. I'm going to have to buy some and give this a try!

While I'm sure these are a great holiday treat, they look so good, I'd like to have them all year.

Tried the recipe- these little "babies" pop tartness into a sugary base! Great combination. Thanks.
What a festive treat! I love the colors.
These were awesome!! Added them to my cereal in the morning.
So pretty! These might be good on a bowl of honey bunches of oats.
I might have to take a break from my no-sugar diet to snack on these...
