CANDIED OR CRYSTALLIZED LILACS
Candied flowers make beautiful decorations for desserts and can last up to one year. This job takes a little patience. It seems to go more quickly if you do it with a friend. The following recipe will coat quite a few flowers, but if you need more, mix up a second batch.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the egg white with the water and beat lightly with a fork or small whisk until the white just shows a few bubbles. Place the sugar in a shallow dish.
- 2. Holding a flower or petal in one hand, dip a paint brush into the egg white with the other and gently paint the flower. Cover the flower or petal completely but not excessively. Holding the flower or petal over the sugar dish, gently sprinkle sugar evenly all over on both sides. Place the flower or petal on the waxed paper to dry. Continue with the rest of the flowers.
- 3. Let the flowers dry completely; they should be free of moisture. This could take 12 to 36 hours, depending on atmospheric 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.
- 4. Store the dried, candied flowers in airtight containers until ready to use. They will keep for as long as a year.

From outdoorapothecary.com
- Lilac Wine. I am passionate about resurecting the “old ways” of living that our grandparents likely enjoyed. One of these self-sufficient skills was making country wines.
- Lilac Simple Syrup. I absolutely love making simple syrups, and this one made with edible lilacs is no different. Not only are they fantastic in cocktails, but they’re also a wonderful addition to other beverages.
- Lilac Tea. I love the soft floral notes in lilac tea and also like that I can dry lilac flowers for tea so that I can enjoy them all year through. Drying lilacs for later use is important since lilacs only bloom for a short period of time in the early spring.
- Lilac Jelly. This delightful jelly with a delicate floral taste is the perfect accompaniment to a biscuit and cup of tea. Canning lilac jelly is a great method for preserving this springtime flower for future enjoyment.
- Lilac Sugar. Lilac – the early spring smell that carries the promise of summer. Making lilac-infused sugar is one of the simplest recipes to make yourself at home and is the perfect way to capture the fragrance and preserve the floral essence of edible lilacs.
