In a medium sauce pan, heat water and sugar and stir until all sugar has dissolved

Add in cranberries and stir for just a few seconds until completely coated

Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries onto a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and allow to dry for an hour or so

Once cranberries are dried, pour a small amount of sugar into a bowl and toss around to coat

Place cranberries back onto drying rack and allow to dry for one more hour

Store cranberries in a loosely sealed container so the sugar will stay intact and not dissolve

Enjoy!
