| Preparing the sugar syrup |
 |
| Place the sugar syrup into a bowl of ice to cool |
 |
| Delicate rose petals dipped in sugar syrup then rolled in caster sugar |
1 cup organic rose petals
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1-2 drops of rose pink food coloring
A few drops of rosewater
Caster sugar for dusting
Wash the rose petals and dry with a paper towel.
Trim the base of the rose petal to remove the bitter part.
Place sugar, water, rosewater and food colouring into a saucepan and heat until it reaches 112 degrees Celsius.
Remove from stove and place the saucepan into a bowl of ice. Allow to cool.
Using tweezers dip each rose petal into the syrup then place on parchment paper.
Roll each petal in caster sugar, allow to dry then store in an airtight container.
Enjoy on top of cupcakes, scones, ice-cream, trifle or a lovely pudding... or simply eat one straight from the container!
Tip: for an extra special touch tint the caster sugar for dusting with 1-2 drops of rose pink food colouring.
Nice, I might actually try these, they don't look as complicated as some of the other stuff :) Will you be posting anymore victorian or 1920s recipes?
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool but make sure you let them dry for a few hours before storing them. I hope to make more victorian and 1920s recipes when I get time so watch this space:)
