Ingredients for Dried Cranberries

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cranberries

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged berries.

  2. 2

    Make Sugar Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Flavor

    Add lemon juice to the sugar syrup and stir well.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cranberries

    Add the prepared cranberries to the sugar syrup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the cranberries begin to pop.

  5. 5

    Dry the Cranberries

    Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Spread the cooked cranberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven and dry for about 2-3 hours, or until the cranberries are no longer sticky.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Let the dried cranberries cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
