Burnt Craisins are a delicious addition to pies, tarts, cakes, and salads

I recently enjoyed this tasty creation on a dessert pizza at a local pizza place.  They were so good I had to figure out how to make them.  I was very surprised when the recipe turned out to be so very easy.

Burnt Craisins

2 c. craisins

1 T butter

3 T raw sugar

Melt the butter in a small skillet; add the craisins and stir to coat.  Sprinkle the sugar over the buttered craisins and stir constantly to caramelize the sugar.  I used high heat with this and removed the craisins to a plate when a few started to look burnt.  Just make sure to keep stirring or they will burn on one stir and turn acrid.  Allow to cool and store in a small container at room temp.
