Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries Ensure they are fresh for the best texture.
  • 1 cup Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda) Can substitute with other fizzy drinks.
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice Adds a tropical flavor; can substitute with orange juice.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For coating the cranberries.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix the Sprite and pineapple juice.
  • Add the fresh cranberries to the bowl and let them soak in the mixture for about 2 hours.
  • After soaking, drain the cranberries, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the cranberries, rolling them around gently to ensure each one is thoroughly coated.
  • Allow the coated cranberries to sit for about 30 minutes.

Notes

For added flavor, mix a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the powdered sugar. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the cranberries after drying for an extra treat.
