Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh cranberries, halved

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and pat them completely dry with a towel. Slice each berry in half using a sharp knife.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the halved berries in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for maximum airflow.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Bake the berries for approximately 3 hours, using a spatula to gently stir them every 60 minutes until they shrink and turn a deep mahogany color.
  4. Turn off the oven and leave the tray inside with the door slightly ajar for 30 to 60 minutes to finish the drying process using residual heat.
