Sugared cranberries in a pile.

Sugared Cranberries

The most tart cranberries, coated in a sweet syrup then tossed in sugar, making the most beautiful (and delicious!) holiday plate decor. I love putting these on the Thanksgiving and Christmas tables, on top of my Christmas pies, or just in little bowls around the house in case anyone wants to try a tart treat.
