Candied Cranberries with Brandy Recipe

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, About.com

You must try these candied cranberries baked in the oven and flavored with brandy. I'm not sure where the recipe originated, but my Granny-Ma used to make it for the holidays, primarily because it was so easy yet still impressive.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hours,

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh cranberries, picked over, washed, and dried
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) brandy
  • Additional white granulated sugar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking pan with nonstick foil.

Spread dried cranberries in a single layer over the bottom of the baking pan and sprinkle with the 2 cups of sugar. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil and bake for 1 hour.

Let cool, then stir in the brandy. Sprinkle lightly with additional sugar and let dry.

Yield: 1 pound candied cranberries
