These sugared cranberries will WOW your holiday crowd. They are not only beautiful, but they are also the perfect combination of tart and sweet. Cranberries are one of the healthiest superfoods around. They contain one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of any fruit. They are high in fiber, manganese, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. They are heart-healthy, help to fight against cancer and inflammation, and protect our cells from free-radical damage. One of the most important phytonutrients in the small but mighty cranberry is quercetin, which is highly anti-inflammator

Notes
This recipe calls for 1 cup of cranberries, but you can easily scale up for more. Rather than dumping out the bag of cranberries, it’s worth it to go through and make sure you are selecting the firm ones. Cane sugar (or organic cane sugar) will hold better than granulated sugar. You can use either water OR orange juice. If you can tolerate orange juice, it gives it a little extra sweet stickiness. Allow plenty of time (about an hour) for your cranberries to dry. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, although I recommend to eat them in 1-2 days.
