  2. Make the simple syrup. Combine 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.  Add the cranberries and return to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the syrup-coated cranberries to the cooling rack and let them dry for about 45 minutes. They should be slightly sticky to the touch.
