Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- Orange juice (enough to submerge cranberries)
- Powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Soak the Cranberries: Place the fresh cranberries in a bowl and pour in enough orange juice to completely cover them. Let them soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- Drain and Coat: The next day, drain the cranberries thoroughly. Toss them in powdered sugar, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake to Set: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the sugar-coated cranberries in a single layer. Bake at 200°F for just 5 minutes to dry out the outer layer. This step helps the sugar adhere better and creates a slight crunch.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cranberries to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or snack on them immediately!
Notes
- Store these candied cranberries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the sugar for extra flavor.
