Hi Everyone, you may have seen these sugared cranberries grace my recent Winter Charcuterie Board, well, I felt that they deserve their own recipe post because they are so useful & versatile, from drink garnishes to an appetizer or dessert topping option.
I love that they only have 2 required ingredients! I do leave the option of using brown sugar because of it's full, warm flavor (it's just a little "extra") when cooking the fresh cranberries but that is completely optional. You can totally do this recipe with white granulated sugar. You could even be creative with different color, sparkling sugar - if you do let me know in the comments below and tell me how they work out!
