In reply to Kassie Cerami. Kassie, I just dropped in a few. Some floated and some sank. It just adds a little color to the glass. Yes, the sugar does melt off.

If you put them into champagne, wouldn’t the sugar just immed melt off and the cranberries sink to the bottom of the glass??

In reply to Crystal.

Crystal,

I wouldn’t recommend trying to use these in garlands because the sugar coating is rather delicate and won’t hold up to much handling. I’ve strung whole unsugared cranberries before and they do fine but don’t last for very long.

I purposely left part of the last batch of sugared cranberries unrefrigerated to test their staying power. They only lasted about 4 days. Whole cranberries, in their natural state, will last close to two weeks unrefrigerated.

Merry Christmas!

Can these be used in garlands or as decorating accents?
