In a bowl, mix 2 cups of fresh cranberries and a 1/2 cup of maple syrup. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Strain well and add the cranberries to a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can save the excess maple syrup to use for another recipe.
Sprinkle granulated sugar over the cranberries and mix until coated. Let dry for at least 1 hour, then use as needed.
Note: Cranberries store very well. You can probably keep them in the fridge for a week or more as long as they still look plump. If the sugar starts to dissolve, mix them with some more sugar to freshen up that frosty look.
