How to Make Frosted Cranberries
I recently made these frosted cranberries to garnish my frosted cranberry vodka cocktail. They were so easy to make and really set off my drink. They are handy for garnishing a lot of different things, from cakes to cocktails. Here’s how to make frosted cranberries.
To make these, you’ll need-
- 12 oz. package of cranberries
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup water
To get started, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside. Then, add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a deep skillet.
Heat over medium heat, until mixture simmers and sugar is heated and dissolved.
Remove from the heat, add cranberries. Stir to coat cranberries. Use a slotted spoon to drain the excess sugar mixture off the cranberries, and layer them evenly on the parchment paper.
Give the cranberries an hour or so to dry. Once dry, in a medium-sized bowl, add remaining 1 ½ cups of sugar.
Add a spoonful of cranberries at a time, tossing them in the sugar.
Using a slotted spoon again, sift them from the sugar and put them onto a fresh sheet of parchment paper.
