How to sugar branches and berries for beautiful and festive garnish on cakes and cupcakes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 3 Cup water
Instructions
- Heat your water and sugar in a sauce pan big enough to fit a small bag of cranberries or cut Evergreen branches. I used Noble Fir.
- Heat to a boil and dissolve your sugar.
- When sugar is dissolved, add in what you want sugared. Cook for maybe 3 minutes. You don't want cranberries to boil too long or they will pop.
- Remove from heat, strain out branches or berries and place on a wire rack to dry. 15 minutes to an hour.
- Once dry, coat them in a bowl of sugar and gently shake off access.
