A bag of Ocean Spray cranberries can last up to a month in the refrigerator! But what can you do if you have leftovers?
Sugared Cranberries
- In a small saucepan, simmer 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar for 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cranberries to coat then remove from heat and stir another 1 minute.
- Remove cranberries with a slotted spoon and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and dry out for 1 hour.
- Roll sticky cranberries, 10-12 at a time, in 1/2 cup sugar to coat.
Keep them refrigerated and you can snack on them.....
....or decorate with them:
Of course you could also make cranberry sauce, jelly, cranberry brie bites, cranberry muffins, stuffing, and cranberry bread, too!
These cranberries would also look terrific on this MacKenzie-Childs Scottish Bouquet Cookie Plate:
OR on these paper plates!
I buy cranberries when they start to show in the store and freeze them so I can enjoy these sweet treats for months beyond Christmas! (I freeze them after I sugar them, too.) Sometimes three or four frozen cranberries is a perfect sweet snack! I love decorating with them, too, and dropping fresh cranberries in our water glasses at the holiday table. They're such a wonderful fruit! I know everyone will love this recipe!
ReplyDeleteLost my comment. Hate when that happens. Anyway, I love sugared cranberries or just plain old cranberry relish. Have a wonderful week, Patti. xo Diana
