Notes
- Make sure to rinse and then completely dry the cranberries before adding them into the simple syrup.
- Don't let the cranberries sit in the hot simple syrup too long. It's important to coat them but also to get them out before they burst.
- You can use frozen cranberries, just make sure to thaw and dry them.
