Allow syrup to cool slightly.

Pour syrup over cranberries in bowl and place in refrigerator overnight.

Transfer cranberries to a parchment lined sheet using a slotted spoon. Let air dry for about an hour until they become tacky to the touch.

You can save the simple syrup for other uses.

If using two types of sugar combine them in a medium bowl. You can use just regular granulated sugar only.

Roll berries a handful at a time in the sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Once all berries are rolled in the sugar, they can be used right away or kept in the refrigerator.
