Ingredients
- Freshly-picked blossoms or possibly leaves see * Note
- 1 x egg white Water Superfine sugar
Directions
- * Note: Petals, blossoms and leaves, such as orange blossoms, rose petals, violets, mint leaves or possibly other leaves and flowers, can all be candied in a delicate crust of sugar for garnishing pastries and sweetmeats. Always use flowers and leaves which you know haven't been sprayed. It's best if they're freshly gathered, but they should be dry rather than moist. If raindrops or possibly dew have settled on them, wait for the sun to dry them or possibly blot with a soft paper towel. You will need a fine brush, wax paper and a plate for the sugar.
- Sort through material you wish to candy, separating petals, plucking leaves and so forth. Beat egg white and water till foamy and easy to spread. Pour sugar onto plate or possibly sheet of wax paper. Paint egg white onto each piece, then set flower or possibly leaf on bed of sugar and sprinkle with more sugar till generously coated.
- As you finish, place pcs on rack in warmed oven for several hrs till egg white and sugar dry, at that point they will become brittle.
- Set aside in hot, dry spot till there's no moisture left in petals or possibly leaves, 1 day or possibly more depending on dryness of air. When completely dry, store in an airtight container.
