These candied cranberries are a quick, festive treat that deliver a perfect balance of tart and sweet. Fresh cranberries are simmered in a simple syrup, dried until tacky, then rolled in sugar for a frosty, jewel-like coating. They’re crunchy, bright, and ideal for snacking, topping desserts, or adding a sparkling finish to holiday cocktails.
