# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Rinse cranberries and gently pat dry using a paper towel. Set aside.
02 - In a small saucepan, combine water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar fully dissolves and the syrup is clear. Avoid boiling.
03 - Remove syrup from heat and allow cooling for 2 minutes. Add cranberries, stirring to coat evenly.
04 - Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Allow to dry for 45 to 60 minutes until sticky but not wet.
05 - Pour remaining 1/2 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll the sticky cranberries in sugar until fully coated.
06 - Return cranberries to wire rack and dry for an additional 15 minutes before serving or garnishing.
