Honeyed Cranberries

Directions

• Using a citrus zester, remove peel from orange in long narrow strips (save fruit for another use). In a large saucepan, combine honey, water and orange peel; cook and stir over medium heat just until simmering (do not boil). Cool 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a small bowl; stir in cranberries. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain cranberries, allowing berries to stand 15 minutes. Discard orange peel and cooking liquid.
• Place sugar in a small bowl. Add cranberries, a few at a time, and toss to coat. Transfer to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Let stand until completely dry, about 30 minutes. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
