need two cups of sugar, divided. 1/2 cup to make the syrup to coat the cranberries and 1-1/2 cups to coat the cranberries for that frosted cranberry appearance.
just combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a sauce pan. cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 2 – 3 minutes.
stir in cranberries until they’re coated well with the syrup.
using a slotted spoon, transfer the cranberries to a wire rack over a sheet pan. let dry for at least an hour.
working in batches, roll the sticky cranberries in the remaining sugar until well coated. let dry for at least another hour. done.
i hope you give this orange pound
