Vanilla Sugared Cranberries

Vanilla Sugared Cranberries are a delightful vegan treat that balances the tartness of fresh cranberries with the sweetness of vanilla-infused sugar. They make for a festive snack or a beautiful garnish for desserts and cocktails.

• 1 cup granulated sugar
•

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and vanilla extract

Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally

Add cranberries to the syrup mixture

Stir gently to coat all cranberries

Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack set over parchment paper, allowing excess syrup to drip off

Let cranberries dry for about 1 hour until they are slightly tacky

Roll cranberries in additional sugar until coated evenly

Allow cranberries to dry completely before serving or storing
