Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- Peel from 1 orange
- 2 cups cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Rinse cranberries & set aside.
- In medium saucepan heat 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon stick, and orange peel heat until sugar is dissolved. DO NOT BOIL.
- Remove from heat & allow to come to room temperature. (cranberries will pop if the syrup is too hot)
- Once syrup is cool- pour over cranberries & place something on top of the cranberries to hold them down in the syrup since they will naturally float.
- Cover & refrigerate overnight.
- Once your cranberries have soaked for allotted time - strain out cranberries in colander & reserve syrup for other recipes.
- Pat cranberries dry with paper towel. They should be tacky not wet.
- Place cranberries on a sheet tray and sprinkle with reserved sugar. Slide pan back and forth until all cranberries are coated with sugar.
- Allow sugar to harden onto cranberries on a baking sheet for several hours.
- Store at room temperature.
