Sugar Coated Garnishes and Rosemary Simple Syrup
Start by making the sugar coated cranberries and rosemary (if desired). In a small saucepan, add water and 1/2 cup sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is just melted and bubbling. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Drop cranberries and sprigs of rosemary into simple syrup the remove with a slotted spoon, spreading them out on a wire rack for about 25-30 minutes. Reserve leftover simple syrup.
