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!
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.
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!
