Servings: 2 cups
Cost: $3.43
Equipment
- 1 to 2 Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% orange juice
- 1-1/2 cups cane sugar divided; granulated sugar will work okay, but cane is best!
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Line 1 to 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small pot, combine the orange juice and 1 cup of the sugar. Bring to a simmer and whisk until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove mixture from heat and stir in cranberries until coated in sugar. Cover pot with a lid and let stand 10 minutes.
- Strain cranberries (the syrup can be used in a simple syrup for cocktails/mocktails). Using a wooden spoon, separate the cranberries and place them on the prepared pan. Allow to dry for 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature.
- Place remaining 1/2 cup cane sugar on a large plate and transfer cranberries to the plate. Roll cranberries in the sugar to coat. Once coated, they’re ready to use and eat!
