Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar white or can sugar, divided
  • 1 cup water
  • 1.5 cup fresh cranberries
  • 10 Rosemary Sprigs

Instructions

  • Make Simple Syrup. Add 1 cup water and 1 cup of sugar to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring continuously until all the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Coat Berries and Rosemary. Working in small batches, place Cranberries and Rosemary in the simple syrup and give it a gentle stir.
    Use a slotted spoon and transfer to a wire rack over parchment paper, or strain over a fine mesh sieve in the sink and then transfer to the wire rack.
    Spread cranberries and rosemary in an even, single layer to dry for about 10 minutes.
  • Toss with Sugar. Add the remaining 1 cup of sugar to a plate and add sugar-coated cranberries and rosemary.
    Use your hands and toss with the sugar crystals to coat the cranberries and rosemary sprigs in sugar.
  • Dry & Enjoy. Carefully transfer rosemary sprigs and frosted cranberries to a wire rack with parchment paper underneath to continue drying, for about 1 hour, before using.
