Garnish
To make the sparkling sugared cranberry garnish, bring 2 cups sugar
and 2 cups water to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat before it
starts to boil, pour the syrup over two cups of cranberries, and
refrigerate overnight. Drain the cranberries the next day and let them
dry a few minutes until tacky. Roll them in superfine sugar and let dry
in a single layer for an hour or two.
Perfect idea for New Year's Eve parties and "First Christmas Party of the Year" in January!
