Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and set them aside to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Avoid boiling.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cranberries to the syrup, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow them to soak for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to absorb the sweetness.
Step 5
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the syrup and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let them dry for about 1 hour until they become tacky to the touch.
Step 6
Once the cranberries are tacky, roll them in powdered sugar, coating each one generously to create the 'snow' effect.
Step 7
Spread the coated cranberries back onto the wire rack and let them sit for another 30 minutes to dry fully.
Step 8
Serve the Cranberry Snow Candy as a festive snack or use it as a garnish for desserts and holiday decorations.
