Put the sugar, water and orange juice in a saucepan over a low heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.

Tip in the cranberries, bring the pan up to a gentle simmer, and leave them alone. Within a few minutes you will hear them start to pop.

Cook only until about three quarters of the berries have burst and the rest are still holding their shape, then take the pan straight off the heat.
