BEAUTIFUL CANDIED FLOWERS

Steps:

• Wash the flowers gently in cool water, and drain on paper towels.
• Trim off the white tips that attatch the petals to the stem.
• In a heavy saucepan, combine rose water and sugar.
• Bring to a boil.
• Submerge the flowers in the syrup and stir.
• Return to a boil then reduce heat to a gentle boil.
• Cook for 15 minutes.

• Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Peel candies off waxed paper and store them in an air-tight container.

CANDIED FLOWERS

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until frothy. Add a couple of drops of vodka to help the flowers dry quicker.
• Using fresh picked flowers, paint each flower individually with beaten egg white using the artist's paintbrush.
• When thoroughly coated, sprinkle with fine sugar and place on the wire rack to dry. Flowers are completely dry when stiff and brittle to the touch.
• They should be free of moisture. This could take 12 to 36 hours, depending on humidity. To hasten drying, you may place the candied flowers in an oven with a pilot light overnight, or in an oven set at 150 degrees to 200 degrees F with the door ajar for a few hours.
• Store the dried, candied flowers in airtight containers until ready to use. They will keep for as long as a year.
