We have been doing quite a few food postings, but we can't help it when inspiration strikes! This latest treat was inspired by the rose bushes growing outside Maggie's house. With the cold weather lurking in the not-so-distant future, we know that we won't get to enjoy them for much longer. So to make the most of them we decided to try making Candied Rose Petals! This can be done with any edible flower, and add a fun, unexpected touch to cakes,cookies,or even just in a dish at tea time! You guests will think you bought them at some fancy store - shhh! We won't tell!
What You Need:
- about 3 dozen organic rose petals
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten (grade A or AA well refrigerated & pasteurized) or if you are worried about using raw egg whites use powdered.
- 1 cup superfine sugar (we used regular & it worked fine)
Then dip each petal in the egg white, being sure to completely cover it. Then simply dip the petal into the sugar, also completely covering it.
Even Jack enjoyed making this simple recipe!
