Carla Hall's Candied Cranberries
- 1 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped up
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries

For the syrup, combine ginger, sugar and water in a small pot. Heat until sugar is dissolved, around 8 minutes, and strain.

Place sugar in a shallow dish and grate around 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger into the sugar. Toss cooled cranberries in sugar and serve.
