Instructions
- Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring mixture until sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a simmer; remove from heat.
- (Do not boil or the cranberries may pop when added.) Stir in cranberries; pour mixture into a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
- Drain cranberries in a colander over a bowl, reserving steeping liquid, if desired.
- Place superfine sugar in a shallow dish.
- Add the cranberries, rolling to coat with sugar.
- Spread sugared cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature 1 hour or until dry.
- Note: The steeping liquid clings to the berries and helps the sugar adhere.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
