Ingredients

2 Cups Fresh Cranberries
1/2 Cup Brown Sweetener - fully optional
1 Cup Water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients. Brown sweetener is only optional. Wash the cranberries using cold water and drain them well.
In a small pan, pour the water and add the desired sweetener. Let all dissolve, and add whole cranberries.
Now that you have prepared your water, sugar, and cranberries together in a pan, bring them to a boil briefly until the sugar dissolves into the water and the berries absorb it. Cook for a few minutes until they start popping. Use a sieve to drain the cranberries from the boiling water and cool them in a cooling rack. After making sure they are cooled enough, transfer the cranberries to the dehydrator trays and spread. Pop those berries that have not opened while cooking. Close the lid, set the dehydrator to 70 Celsius or 160 Fahrenheit and dehydrate cranberries for approximately 7-8 hours.
Once the cranberries are completely dehydrated, turn off the dehydrator and let them cool in the tray before serving or storing.

Notes

Pop - you must cook and pop your cranberries. Otherwise, they will not dry thoroughly. The skin of cranberries is so thick that even after three full days, they will not dry - my own experience.
Parchment paper - if you do not have dehydrator trays, you can use parchment paper or a baking sheet.
Rotating - if you are dehydrating a significant amount of cranberries on multiple trays, rotate them occasionally to ensure even drying.
