Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients

- 1½ cup Sugar Alternative. --Use a granular sugar alternative to make this recipe. divided.
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ cup Orange Juice --Use freshly squeezed orange juice with no added sugar.
- 4 tsp Orange Zest
Instructions
- Make the Syrup. In a medium saucepan on medium heat, combine together one cup of the granulated sugar alternative with the water and the orange juice ( you can add the zest here or as part of the coating later). Use a whisk to stir the ingredients as you bring it them to a simmer and the alternative dissolves. Then remove the the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Cranberries. Gently stir in the cranberries until they are well coated with the syrup. Then allow the cranberries to soak in the orange-infused syrup for at least 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Drain. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cranberries to a cooling rack and allow the berries to dry (about 15-20 minutes). It is a good idea to place the rack on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper first (easy clean up).
- Coat. In a shallow bowl, use a fork or a whisk to combine together the lemon zest with the remaining alternative. Then, in small batches, roll the cranberries into the mixture and then place them back on to your cooling rack to dry.
- Dry. Lastly, allow your orange 'sugared' cranberries to dry completely before storing (about an hour or so). They should have a nice, crystallized appearance once dry.
