Step by Step Method

Step 1

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.

Step 2

In a saucepan bring 1/2 cup sugar and the water to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue boiling until mixture registers 238 degrees (soft ball stage) on candy thermometer (under 10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in cranberries. Let stand until cranberries are tender and still retain shape (under 5 minutes). Using a slotted spoon carefully transfer cranberries to the prepared cookie sheet. Let stand until almost dry (20 minutes).

Step 3

Place 1/4 cup sugar on a plate. Roll cranberries in the sugar until completely coated. Store cranberries in sugar.

What a lovely and tasty recipe. I added these as a topping for canned cranberry sauce and it pumped it up so much. Served it along our chicken dinner...Yum. These will be made again before the year is over! Thank you, ellie, for sharing. Made it for Billboard tag.
