Cranberries in powdered sugar are one of my favorite sweets from my childhood (sorry, Georgian churchela).
I remember in my childhood there were little nice cardboard boxes available for sale at local stores around my native Riga. It was always like a little celebration when my mom or grandma bought me some of those cardboard boxes with cranberries in powdered sugar and let me eat them
For a very long time I didn't find them around, but at the start of 2000's they started to appear again on shop shelves. Anyhow - many more years later I got this treat again, in my kitchen - homemade cranberries in powdered sugar. I haven't touched the following recipe (just eaten a lot of cranberries in powdered sugar), thus photographed.
Frosted cranberries just from the fridge
We bought a large 2kg sack of them at the local East Point Shopping mall in Tbilisi (imported from France)

You can put them in preheated oven to make the process faster, but don't bake them.
