Homemade Crystallised Rose Petals

Step 1

Please note, in order to have this recipe posted, I had to put in quantities - they are approximate, depending on how many petals you are crystallising!

Step 2

Use a fork to lightly beat the egg white and use the paint brush to ensure all surfaces of the petal is then covered. Use the tweezers to hold the petal.

Step 3

Then dust the petal evenly with the sugar, place on the baking parchment/greaseproof paper so they are not touching and leave to dry in a warm room.

Step 4

It will take approx 2 hours to dry.

Step 5

Store them in an airtight tin, in between greasepoof paper for up to 3-4 months.

Step 6

Use the rose petals to decorate cakes, trifles and desserts.

Step 7

These make a wonderful gift also!
