Ingredients Orange Vanilla Candied Cranberries
- 1 bag of 12-ounce cranberries
- 1.75 cups of water
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 orange’s zest and juice, or about ½ cup fresh juice
- Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
- 1 complete cinnamon stick
- 3 parts of granulated sugar and 1 part of clear sparkling sugar to make 1.5 to 2 cups of white sugar for coating.
Instructions Orange Vanilla Candied Cranberries
- Wash the cranberries.
- In a heat-safe bowl, put the cranberries.
- A 2 qt stock pot should be filled with water, zest, juice, vanilla, sugar, and a cinnamon stick. Then, bring it to a boil.
- Turn down the heat to medium-low or low, and simmer for 5–7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a short while. When the cranberries are added in the following step, the mixture should be heated but not boiling.
- Overnight, cover the cranberries with the mixture and a cinnamon stick.
- Drain the cranberry syrup and set it aside for later use by placing a colander over a bowl.
- Allow cranberries to sit for 30 to 60 minutes so they get slightly sticky.
- 1.5 to 2 cups of white sugar should be poured onto a sheet pan, then gently and evenly coat with the sugar, and rolled about half of the cranberry mixture.
- Roll the remaining cranberries into as near to a single layer as you can before adding the remaining sugar and cranberries. (The important thing is to make sure there is enough airflow around each cranberry.)
- Spread the sugar and cranberries outside to dry. This can require several hours.
- Finally, when the sugar has hardened into a crunchy shell around each cranberry, the cranberries are finished.
