Cranberry Candy is a sweet Winter treat made from Cranberries, an Apple and Sugar. The Queen of Sauce teaches it on the last Sunday of the first year, as a way to welcome the new year. Its two fruits both ripen in Fall, so the candy is a natural use for a harvest kept back from the last season. Gus also sells it at his bar on Ginger Island, though at a steep price. Vincent loves it, and as a sweet it is one of the easier ways into his friendship.

The in-game description reads: It's sweet enough to mask the bitter fruit.


Recipe


The recipe comes from The Queen of Sauce on the farmhouse television, on the last Sunday of the first Winter. On the show, the Queen of Sauce says cranberries are bitter on their own but taste wonderful once they are drowned in sugar. A missed episode can still be caught. Wednesday reruns repeat earlier recipes, and from the third year the whole schedule starts over.

Cooking Cranberries with an Apple and Sugar makes Cranberry Candy.

Cranberries are a Fall crop. Pierre's General Store sells Cranberry Seeds in Fall. The plant is ready after seven days and then produces again every five days, so a single planting gives several harvests before Winter.

Apples grow on Apple Trees, which bear fruit in Fall. Pierre's General Store sells Apple Saplings, and a sapling needs 28 days to grow into a tree. Since the candy is taught in Winter, Apples saved from Fall are the usual way to cook it.

Sugar is sold all year at Pierre's General Store. A Mill on the farm turns Beets into Sugar instead.

Like every dish, the candy needs the kitchen in an upgraded farmhouse or a Cookout Kit.

Gus also sells Cranberry Candy at his Resort bar on Ginger Island, on the days he visits the island.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects


Cranberry Candy is a recovery snack. It restores a fair amount of energy and health.

Qi Seasoning makes stronger candy. A seasoned Cranberry Candy is gold quality and restores 80 percent more energy and health.

Prices


Cranberry Candy sells for a modest price. Buying it from Gus at the Resort costs more than twice what it sells for, so the bar is only worth it for a quick gift or snack. Qi Seasoning raises its sale price by half.

Notes


In tailoring, Cranberry Candy in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Red Striped Shirt. The red pot among the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house takes Cranberry Candy.

Cranberry Candy is another dish for the cooking achievements, where Cook needs ten different dishes, Sous Chef twenty-five and Gourmet Chef all of the recipes. Cranberry Candy airs on the final Sunday of the first year, so it is one of the last first-year recipes to catch.
