Description
A simple recipe for making sweet and tangy candied cranberries using just three ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (210 g) fresh cranberries, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 cups (16 fl oz/473 ml) orange juice or Sprite (or other similar sodas)
- 1 cup (106 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add cranberries to a large bowl. Pour in juice or soda to cover the cranberries. Let them soak for about one hour in the fridge if soaking longer.
- Use a large kitchen strainer to remove the cranberries from the soaking liquid. Do not shake or dry them off.
- Place the cranberries into a large ziploc bag or a clear container with a lid.
- Add in the powdered sugar. Seal the bag or container and shake vigorously until fully coated.
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer cranberries to the baking sheet, spreading them out so they aren’t touching.
- Bake for about 5 minutes until the sugar coating is solid and firm.
- Let cranberries fully cool before eating, ideally chilling them in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Notes
- Discard any soft cranberries when rinsing.
- Use a good quality brand of powdered sugar to avoid unpleasant aftertaste.
- Consider using powdered sugar mixed with tapioca starch if you have issues with cornstarch.
