Frosted Cranberries

Frosted Cranberries add a festive touch to any appetizers or desserts, home made or store-bought.

Here’s a really easy and simple recipe. You only need 2 ingredients: a pack of fresh cranberries and 1 and 1/2 cup sugar.

First wash the cranberries

In a medium sauce pan, heat 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water till the sugar is melted and well mixed with the water, around 3 minutes. There’s no need for the liquid to boil. Take away from the heat and let cool.

Add the cranberries and mix well.

With a strainer or slotted spoon, scoop out the cranberries to a wide colander or a rack to drain and dry for about an hour.

In a large plate. spread 1 cup of sugar. Add the cranberries and mix well to coat.

Use the frosted cranberries to decorate appetizers, like this Charcuterie Wreath, or as a pie topping, or as garnish for store-bought cheesecake, chocolate cup cakes etc. If you wish add some fresh mint leaves to create a holly look.

You can cover and refrigerate any left over frosted cranberries. They will keep fresh and pretty for a few days.
