Sugared Cranberries are a festive treat for the holidays. Use as a festive garnish, cake toppers, or enjoy as a sweet and tangy dessert. Known as Candied Cranberries and Sparkling Cranberries (клюква в сахаре)
Dissolve white sugar and water in a saucepan, heating up over medium until the sugar syrup is completely dissolved. Hot but not boiling.
In small batches, gently place the cranberries into the sugar syrup and mix until coated. Remove the cranberries with a slotted spoon and place on parchment paper (or on a wire baking rack).
Sift icing sugar into a bowl. Working in batches, place cranberries into the icing sugar. Don't allow the sticky cranberries to touch each other. Holding the bowl, gently roll cranberries in a circular motion for at least 2 minutes, until completely coated.
Place coated cranberries on parchment paper to allow them to harden up and set for 1 hour.
