Ingredients




2 1/2 cups sugar, plus about 1 more cup to roll the cranberries in
1 3/4 cups water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp orange liquor - or orange extract, coconut is also delicious
1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries

Preparation

1 Combine the 2 1/2 cups sugar, water, vanilla and other flavoring choices into a heavy bottom saucepan. 2 Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, do not let the mixture boil! 3 Once the sugar is fully dissolved turn off the heat and remove the pan from the heat. 4 Wash the cranberries and pour them into a large bowl. Pour the syrup over the cranberries and place a heavy plate on the cranberries to keep them submerged. 5 Refrigerate for 2-12 hours, depending on how sweet your want your cranberries. 6 Once you have reached desired sweetness, drain the cranberries (reserving the syrup for another use) and roll the cranberries in the reserved 1 cup sugar until fully covered. 7 Store covered in the refrigerator until all gone!
