Candied Flowers


by TAG Editor

This is the time of year where nature starts blooming, again, for the four seasons areas of the country.  Violets, pansies, cherry blossoms and crabapple blossoms are a perfect for this.  Garnish your favorite ice cream, dessert, and fruit with creme fraiche.



Ingredients:
1 egg white, pasteurized powdered (for safety) or meringue powder
superfine sugar
edible blooms

Dip blooms in egg white or brush the whites on to the bloom gently.  Lay out sugar in a shallow dish and dip blooms face down. Sprinkle the back side of blooms with more sugar until complete.

Place tray of dusted blooms in an oven at 200 degrees with the oven door open and leave for 30 minutes or until dry. This will cook the egg whites at a low temperature and make them safe from salmonella development. Make sure the egg whites are cooked through and dried.
