A tart and sugary treat or an elegant decoration to add to your dessert. Sugared Cranberries are easy to make and a great way to dress up your holiday recipes!

Sugared Cranberries

I made some yummy Angel Food Cupcakes {with Cranberry Whip} this past weekend. To make them even more irresistible I wanted a pretty decoration to top them with.  These Sugared Cranberries were the perfect embellishment.

Sugared Cranberries

I know that we eat with our eyes first so I’m always trying to find different ways to make my recipes eye appealing.

When it’s a quick and easy decoration, that’s even better. These sugared cranberries were very easy to make and quite tasty.

I let them sit out on the counter overnight and they seemed to get more flavorful the next day. My mom couldn’t get enough of them!

So whether you’re looking for a tasty holiday snack or you want to dress up your holiday dessert these Sugared Cranberries are a quick, easy and festive idea.

How do you use Sugared Cranberries to decorate food?

Make sure you stop back on Friday to see the yummy Angel Food Cupcakes {with Cranberry Whip} that I embellished with these Sugared Cranberries! They disappeared almost as quickly as these sparkly little berries!

Here’s another decorating idea to dress up your desserts with.

    This was a new tasting experience for me and I found that I really loved the combination of the crunchy, tartiness of the cranberries with the sugar and I really loved them together with your Angel food Cupcakes ! that was a great combination!
