Cranberries in sugar
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This is a "two-in-one" recipe: you'll get sugared cranberries and, as a bonus, an amazing cranberry syrup. I inherited this sugared cranberries recipe from my grandmother, so it's time-tested, so to speak. By the way, you can use frozen berries as well. Good luck! The ready dessert can be served at the table.
