Candied Rose Petals
Report
Here's how to make candied rose petals—and the technique couldn't be easier. It's essentially just sugared rose petals and requires only egg white, sugar, and a little patience.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 rose bloom unsprayed, edible
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 cup sugar superfine; or blitz granulated sugar in a blender until finely ground but not powdery
Instructions
- Very carefully pluck the individual edible petals from the rose bloom.
- Gently wash the rose petals, trying not to bruise them. Place the petals on kitchen towels or paper towels and let them be until they're completely dry. You may wish to dab the petals with a clean, dry towel to ensure they're completely dry.
- Place a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet. Crack the egg white into a small bowl and whisk it with a fork. Dump the superfine sugar into a shallow bowl or onto a plate.
- Gently paint a rose petal with the egg white using a new soft bristle paintbrush or instead simply dip the petal in the egg white, turning to coat both sides and allowing any extra to drop off, and then place the petal in the bowl of superfine sugar, turning to coat both sides and sprinkling on extra, if necessary, so the petals are completely coated with sugar.
- Space the candied rose petals apart on a wire cooling rack and leave until dry and hardened.
- Use the candied rose petals the same day as they'll become soft and wet if left too long (even if stored in a sealed container).
Notes
- A gentle reminder that this candied rose petals recipe contains raw egg. Please be aware of this if you’re making the recipe for anyone for whom that’s a potential food safety no-no, including the very young, the very old, the very pregnant, and the very compromised in terms of immunity. All the rest of you, go ahead and nibble these little lovelies with not a care in the world.
