Servings: 14 Servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 ounces fresh cranberries

- Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to cool. Pour it through a mesh strainer to remove the cranberry pieces.
Notes
- The serving size is 1 ounce of cranberry simple syrup. Actual calories will vary.
- This syrup is sweet and not too tart, making it great for cocktails and condiments. If you’d prefer a little more tartness to the syrup, use an entire 12 ounce bag of cranberries instead of only 6 ounces.
- Don’t overcook the syrup; otherwise, you’ll end up with cranberry sauce.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
