Sugared Cranberries And Sage Leaves Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Put remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl.
• Lightly brush cranberries and both sides of sage leaves with sugar syrup, then immediately roll in sugar.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled rack and dry at room temperature, 2 to 3 hours.
• Cooks' note: Sugared cranberries and sage leaves keep, chilled in 1 layer in a baking pan, uncovered, 3 days.

Steps:

• Bring water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Put remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl.
• Lightly brush cranberries and both sides of sage leaves with sugar syrup, then immediately roll in sugar.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled rack and dry at room temperature, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cranberries and weight with a plate to submerge. Cover the pot and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours. Strain the cranberries, reserving the syrup. (Refrigerate leftover syrup in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
• Spread the superfine sugar on a baking sheet; toss the cranberries in the sugar. Refrigerate on the baking sheet, uncovered, for 1 hour. Toss again in the sugar before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add cranberries; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Let cool completely. Use a slotted spoon to lift cranberries out of syrup (reserve syrup for another use, such as for cocktails); transfer to a wire rack and let dry until just tacky to the touch, 30 minutes.
• Toss with remaining 1/4 cup sugar to coat. Let dry completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days. (If sugar has melted at all, toss with more before using.)

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup/200 grams sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer around the edges. Cool the syrup to room temperature.
• When the syrup is cool, add the cranberries and stir to coat. Work in batches if necessary. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cranberries from the syrup and place them on a cooling rack set over a sheet pan to drain. Let the cranberries dry for 45 minutes. Save the syrup for cocktails or another batch of cranberries.
• Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups/250 grams sugar into a shallow dish and roll the cranberries, a few at a time, in the sugar until completely coated. Let them dry completely then store in an airtight container room temperature for up to 3 days. After a few days they may start to soften and weep a bit. Cook them down into sauce or quick jam.

Steps:

• Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove syrup from heat and allow to cool until lukewarm. Add cranberries to syrup and carefully stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet with sugar and line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drain cranberries well and spread out onto the sugar-covered baking sheet. Roll in the sugar and transfer cranberries to the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Allow to dry for 3 hours.
