15 minutes to prep. These candied cranberries are a sweet‑tart snack that adds a festive pop to desserts or holiday platters. Soaked in juice and a fizzy drink, then coated with powdered sugar and dried, they develop a light, crunchy glaze.

Method
Place the fresh, washed cranberries, the chosen juice, and the fizzy drink into a large sealable container; seal tightly and refrigerate for 12–24 hours to allow the berries to absorb the liquid.
After the soaking period, remove the container from the refrigerator and drain the cranberries, discarding the excess liquid.
Transfer the drained cranberries to a clean bowl, add the powdered sugar, and gently shake or toss until the berries are evenly coated; add more powdered sugar if a thicker coating is desired.
Spread the coated cranberries in a single layer on a plate or tray and let them air‑dry at room temperature for at least 12 hours until the coating sets and becomes slightly crunchy.
