Soaking them in the syrup overnight makes them sweet & simply wonderful.

Cranberry Simple Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups cranberries

Instructions

  1. Rinse cranberries & set aside.
  2. In medium saucepan heat 1 cup water & 1 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved & liquid is warm. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat & allow to come to room temperature. (cranberries will pop if the syrup is too hot)
  4. Once syrup is cool- pour over cranberries & place something on top of the cranberries to hold them down in the syrup since they will naturally float.
  5. Cover & refrigerate 3 days.
  6. Once your cranberries have soaked for allotted time - strain out cranberries in colander & reserve for another recipe.
  7. Transfer syrup to an airtight container & store at room temperature to use in any recipe that calls for simple syrup.
