CJ,
ReplyDeleteYour sugared cranberries look wonderful. I thought that they would only be used for decoration too. Glad to hear that they can be eaten as a snack.

A yummy one too! I'm hoping to make more this year. :) Hope you get to give these a try!
DeleteI always wondered that myself. They are so pretty, but seemed like they would still be too tart. I need to give this method a try!
ReplyDeleteSame here. :) I do like the tartness of a cranberry, but it seemed a bit toooooo tart to just dip in some sugar. Let me know what you think of this method once you give it a try. :) Another bonus - you get cranberry syrup leftover for whatever else you want to make! Hope you enjoy. :)
DeleteThank you so much for bringing sugared cranberries to the party.
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered how to do that, and now I know.

Isn't it great how easy it is? Plus, you get some cranberry syrup at the end. :)
DeleteNICE
ReplyDeletei do the same with grapes ... "Uva Brinata"
I just looked up "uva briata" and I have to say - they look awesome! Such a fun treat. :)
DeleteThese are beautiful! I've always worried they would be overly tart too, even with a sugar coating, but you've convinced me I should try them.
ReplyDeleteI think they'd be really tart with just a sugar coating, but with the syrup soak, they're much sweeter. :) You can also adjust the sweetness by making the syrup sweeter (or soaking for a shorter time for more tart)!
DeleteI will have to tell my mom about this - she loves cranberries.
ReplyDeleteI hope she enjoys these! They're pretty and yummy. :)
DeleteI've made these before! They are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteKari
They certainly are! And pretty too. :)
DeleteI've tried doing the sugar cranberry thing but my kids don't care for it. It does make pretty decorations on cakes and holiday items though.
ReplyDeleteThat just means more for you to enjoy! :) You could also use it as decoration. :)
DeleteI want to make these just cause they look so pretty! I'm sure they would be a delicious garnish to any dish too. Thanks for sharing at the Wednesday Showcase party. Hope to see you again this week.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? :) I like how they're pretty as a garnish, and yummy to eat!
DeleteHey there, congrats on the special feature at #HIH for the 100th party! These looks really tasty and easy, I think I'll have them out at my Christmas table this year! It's always best to KISS right? :) Thanks for linking up at Happiness is Homemade!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely - especially with all the busyness going on during the holidays! Thanks for featuring me - it's an honor, and I appreciate it. :)
DeleteThanks for the recipe! I was wondering, if I allow the sugar syrup on the cranberries to dry then how will the dry sugar stick to them afterward?
ReplyDeleteGood question! The dried syrup leaves behind a sticky residue, and the dry sugar sticks to that. :)
DeleteI love your results - easy and tart!! Thanks for sharing at the What's for Dinner party! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey're such a burst of sweet tartness. :)
DeleteI will have to give these a try, CJ. I have only ever eaten cooked cranberries before. These look gorgeous! Thank you for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community. Take care and stay well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like them. :) Cranberries are one of my favorite seasonal foods. Stay well!
