Happy Earth Day!
When I received an invitation to join this wonderful party, I really wasn’t sure what I would do. My hobbies include sewing, crafting, arranging flowers, hiking, gardening, gourd decorating, photography…
Lots of Earth Friendly activities!
Here is my recipe for
Lilac Sugar
1 part clean dry flowers
2 parts sugar
Prepping the flowers takes a bit of time, but your kitchen will smell glorious! The blossoms need to be separated from their stems, removing any of the green bits. To me the easiest way is to use kitchen scissors, patiently snipping down the bloom and dropping them gently into a colander. Once I have enough, I flip them onto a clean towel. The hard part is over now! 😉
In a clean jar, layer lilacs,
then sugar,
more lilacs,
and more sugar!
Seal the jar and shake every once in a while. Let rest overnight. Store in the refrigerator.
Lilac sugar is lovely for baking or in teas!
