Sugar Cranberries

Sweet and tart sugar cranberries are the perfect little snack, a cocktail garnish and even the filling for your favorite holiday bread. 

Move over pumpkin!

I am officially calling November and December cranberry and pomegranate months. Each year, I make a batch of Sugar Cranberries, partly because they are festive and partly because I love to use them in creative ways.

How I use sugar cranberries

1. My favorite way to use sugar cranberries is as garnishes for cocktails and mocktails. I skewer them on festive cocktail sticks and even just drop them into a drink to add a little sweetness and zing.
2. These little sugar beauties make a stunning cake or cupcake decoration.
3. Top a glazed cranberry bread with these little gems and they will really make it shine.
4. Use them as a layer in a yogurt parfait with Greek yogurt, honey, and granola.
5. You can top pancakes with them.
6. They make an amazing garnish for your holiday Turkey. Just add some rosemary and sprinkle these on the serving plate and you have a gorgeous dinner platter.
7. And of course, you can just eat them like candy!

Krazy kitchen mom bonus!

I’m giving you a bonus recipe today! You can also make Sugar Rosemary sprigs to use the same way you use these. Simply substitute fresh rosemary sprigs for the cranberries! You can see how I used Sugar Rosemary in my Cranberry Margaritas.
