Ingredients
  

  • 12 sprigs rosemary or 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Gather ingredients, measuring out 1/2 cup of sugar in a flat-bottomed bowl for sugaring the herbs or berries after they dry a bit.
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water in a small sauce pan and heat to medium, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat.
  • Add herbs or berries, allowing enough room between them to fully coat all sides and surfaces. Remove with tongs, fork, or a slotted spoon and allow them to dry for about 1 hour on a wire rack.
  • After 1 hour, dredge through the remaining sugar in a bowl to fully coat.
  • Garnish breads, cakes, cookies, cocktails ... or use as decorations. Store in air-tight container for up to 3 days.
