OK, the morning started out with a plan.  I was going to start out making candied cranberries as a topping for a tartlet I’ll be making tomorrow.  This was to be the “pop” of color and flavor on top.  Well, they popped, all right!  I dropped my perfectly and carefully prepared cranberries into my oh-so-gently simmering simple syrup, as per the directions and each and every one of them split wide open within five seconds.

The end result? See for yourself…

Great looking jelly.  Not so much a bunch of pretty cranberries that would be worthy of topping a white chocolate tartlet.

Ah well, I suppose I’ll have to find a different garnish, but i was looking forward to candied cranberries!  Maybe if I plump up some Craisins in wine or rum, that would be good?

Any suggestions?
