Rosemary Flowers
Rosemary is a herb which flowers in the spring.
More information about Rosemary can be found by clicking on this link.
Rosemary flowers can be used as a candy.
To make Rosemary Sugar Candies:
- collect the flower petals
- drop the petals into a bowl of warm, dry white sugar
- place the bowl in a warm, dry, airy place so that the moisture from the flowers will pass into the sugar and then evaporate from the bowl
- shake the bowl twice a day
- when quite dry place the mixture in an airtight jar
- use to decorate cakes, puddings and sweets
Rosemary petals contain the same volatile oil as the leaves which:
- has medicinal & culinary uses
- improves memory, relieves muscle pain and spasm, stimulates hair growth, and supports the circulatory and nervous systems
- contains antioxidants thought to work against cancer
Too much Rosemary is toxic, so eat in moderation!
[…] The flowers of rosemary can be preserved in sugar to make sweet Rosemary Flower candies. […]
