Candied Violets
Violets and their leaves are often used in salads and soups and both can be candied. The leaves are mostly used for decoration but the flowers can be eaten.
You’ll Need:
violet flowers and leaves (make sure they are organically grown with no pesticides)
1 egg white
sugar
brush (you can use a pastry brush or a new painting brush)
Waxed paper
Directions:
1. Wash the violets and leaves and let them dry.
2. Separate the egg to get the white.
3. Dip the brush in the egg white and brush on the flowers and leaves covering front and back.
4. Sprinkle sugar covering the flowers and leaves completely.
5. Place on waxed paper to dry.
Use to decorate cakes, cupcakes, fruit, or ice cream
