…and yellow, or white. I really enjoy violets, I love their tiny delicate blooms. I don’t have them in my flower garden because they can be a little aggressive for such a tiny plant. I do use them as a ground cover around my lilac bush because they do so well in the shade. We also have them back in the woods growing wild (they’re great for naturalizing). They’re just starting to bloom their tiny delicate blooms right now.
Violet blossoms are great to add color to salad, or as a garnish for any spring dish. Put them in a tiny vase to add a splash of spring to your windowsill. They’re also great for drying, pressing, or candying.
Here’s a recipe for candied violets:
You’ll need:
one egg white
a few drops of water
super fine sugar
violet blooms
a paint brush
an air tight container or jar
How to make them:
Whisk the egg together with the water. Paint the violets very lightly with the egg white mixture, then sprinkle a little sugar on both sides. Let any excess sugar fall off the violets, and set aside to dry overnight. Let them dry for a day or two, then seal them in an air tight container in a dark place until you’re ready to use them. The candied violets should last for up to a year.
You can use your candied violets as a decoration for cupcakes, a cake, or to garnish any sweet dessert.
OK, now I need to go make some. I think they’d be great for some Mother’s Day cupcakes.

美丽的紫罗兰--母亲节佳品
是黄色或者白色的花骨朵.我喜欢紫罗兰,喜欢他娇小精致的花骨朵.我没有在花园里种紫罗兰,因为他们的生命里太强大, 那里的空间对他们而言太过狭小.因为他们喜阴,所以我把他们种在紫丁香棚下,他们也长成了一片紫色的地毯.我也把他们种在树丛的后面,那里,他们自由的蔓延着(他们总能为自己寻找营养的土壤).他们即将绽放他们可爱而美丽的花朵.
紫罗兰是很好的色拉调色剂, 也可以冷盘的装饰物. 将紫罗兰放入花瓶中,然后摆放于窗台,为你增加春的气息.紫罗兰同样适合烘干,脱水,或作成蜜饯.
下面为你介绍制作紫罗兰蜜饯的方法:
材料:
一个鸡蛋清 几滴水 精制糖 紫罗兰花 一只刷子 一个密封容器
制作方法:
搅拌水和蛋,再用这些混合液涂抹紫罗兰花瓣,然后在花瓣两边都撒上糖.去除花瓣上多余的糖之后,晾晒一晚上.这样一直晾晒一两天,然后将这些花密封在器皿中,放置阴暗潮湿的地方,要吃的时候再拿出来.这样,这些紫罗兰蜜饯可以保质期可达一年.
你可以用这些蜜饯用做纸杯蛋糕,蛋糕等一切甜品的装饰.
现在我也要去做一些了哦!我想,他们是"母亲节"杯撞蛋糕的很好选择.
