The Process
It’s a breeze to make these if you follow a few simple rules. First, make sure you really let the cranberries dry for one full hour after coating them in simple syrup. If you want the sugar to stick and sparkle, this is a must. Second, after coating the berries in granulated sugar, they need to dry an additional hour. Worth the wait!
