Sparkling Cranberries

Once chilled, toss them in sugar to get that dusted sparkle that looks positively festive.

(Don’t let syrup get too hot or cranberries will pop.)

Remove from heat; stir in cranberries.

Cover and chill 8 to 12 hours.

Place sugar in a large bowl or baking dish.

Drain cranberries in a colander (about 15 minutes).

Add 4 to 5 cranberries at a time to sugar; gently toss to coat.

Repeat with remaining cranberries.

Place cranberries in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; let stand until completely dry.
