# Method:
01 - Rinse the cranberries and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
02 - In a small saucepan, combine water and 1/2 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is clear; do not allow to boil.
03 - Remove the syrup from heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Add cranberries and stir to coat evenly.
04 - Transfer cranberries with a slotted spoon to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let dry for 45 to 60 minutes until sticky but not wet.
05 - Pour remaining 1/2 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll sticky cranberries in sugar until fully coated.
06 - Return cranberries to wire rack and allow them to dry for another 15 minutes before use.
