Comment préparer Candied Violets
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens and reaches a light syrupy consistency (it should coat the back of a spoon).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Allow the syrup to cool slightly, until it's just warm to the touch.
- Gently place the violets, a few at a time, into the warm syrup, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Let the violets soak in the syrup for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are completely coated.
- Carefully remove the violets from the syrup using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a sheet of wax paper to dry completely. This may take 1-2 hours. Avoid stacking them.
