Tis the season for sparkle, glitter and fresh cranberries. And like little jewels, these cranberries sparkle! Use sugared cranberries to add bursts of flavor to your holiday recipes and provide a beautiful garnish with vibrant color on your food and dessert plates. Soaking the berries in simple syrup overnight tames down the extreme tartness that raw berries have, but there is still enough tartness left to contrast with the sugary coating to give surprising bursts of flavor when you pop them in your mouth. Package sugared cranberries in attractive tins to give as gifts, or serve them in a bowl on your holiday table along with the nuts and pretzels. Use fresh cranberries when they are available in the fall. Frozen cranberries can also be used for sugaring, just let them thaw before using
