Notes
Store the cranberries uncovered at room temperature for one week. Re-toss the cranberries in sugar before serving.
Add a pan or piece of parchment paper underneath the wire rack to catch any drips of sugar.
A few springs of rosemary or orange can be added to the simple syrup to produce an extra flavor component!
