Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
• Stir in cranberries and stir to coat all cranberries. Use a slotted spoon and transfer cranberries to a wire rack (set it on top of a lined baking sheet for easy clean up). Reserve syrup if you want - it's great to sweeten cocktails!
• Let cranberries dry for 1 hour. After one hour, roll cranberries in remaining sugar until completely coated.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
