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.
