Sharing is caring!

I'm COMPLETELY obsessed with sugared cranberries. They are the prettiest and tastiest Thanksgiving and Christmas snacks you can make.

This recipe is super simple and it will wow your guests. Make these delicious cranberries in less than 10 minutes.

Last night as I was cooking dinner for a friend, I plopped out a bowl of these excellent cranberries and she could not believe how amazing they were.

After about 10 minutes, she begged me to take them away because she could not stop eating them! They are just that addictive.

Making sugared cranberries

All you need to make this dish is a bag of cranberries, honey, sugar, water, and powdered sugar. The cooking time is less than 5 minutes in the oven on a baking sheet. Within a few minutes, you can enjoy a fantastic appetizer for your guests.

How long do these cranberries last?

Stored in the fridge, in an air-tight container they will last 3-5 days. It can depend on the freshness of the cranberries when you bought them too.
