Method
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool for 10 minutes.
- Place 1 cup fresh cranberries in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the slightly cooled syrup over the cranberries, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to soak.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the syrup and transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let them dry for 1 hour, until they are slightly tacky to the touch.
- Place 1/2 cup superfine sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the cranberries in the sugar, a few at a time, until evenly coated. Shake off excess sugar and return the cranberries to the wire rack.
- Let the sugared cranberries sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set. They should look frosty and glistening.
