Directions

Place the strawberry, huckleberry and dark cherry ice cream in a serving dish. Put the marshmallow cream in a piping bag (or spoon it straight from the jar) and top the ice cream with a mound of it. Decorate with the mixed berries and Candied Cranberries.
Press the gingerbread people into the ice cream and marshmallow cream, then drizzle over the Green Ganache and Red Ganache. Finish decorating the sundae with the mint sprigs and a cherry on top.

Candied Cranberries:

Yield: 3 cups

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
Pour 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup of the sugar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved into the water and the result is a syrup consistency.
Add the cranberries to the pan and stir so they are covered in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and stir for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the pan and add them to the prepared sheet pan. Allow the cranberries to cool and dry, about 1 hour.
Pour the remaining sugar into a bowl. Add the cranberries and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the sugar. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
