Ingredients

Fragrant violet flowers
Sugar
Sugar syrup

Cooking method

  • Candied violets
  • I was sick last week. The weather was terrible, and rain, and wind, and snow ... And today I went outside for the first time ... and there is Spring! Behind the fence there is a clearing with forest violets. Delicate aroma of spring! Sweet dreams and cool freshness! Violets are pleasing to the eye, and the taste is simply amazing. The world's healthiest candies have been made from flowers for almost 2 centuries. Well, how can one not get busy with blanks ?!
  • Candied violets
  • Candied violets
  • You need to collect with stalks, we will need them.
  • Candied violets
  • We wash the flowers at home and dry them slightly
  • Candied violets
  • Then there are two options. You can brush the flowers with a whipped protein brush, and then sprinkle with sugar. Or you can, and I liked this method more, use sugar syrup.
  • Boil syrup from 1/2 glass of water and a glass of sugar. Dip the violets by the stalk into the syrup, and then sprinkle with sugar. We tear off the stalk and, for full readiness, put the flowers on tracing paper, cooking paper or food film and put it in a dry warm place (but not in the oven) for 24 hours.
  • Ready-made violets can be laid in a dry jar in rows, shifting with tissue paper and sprinkling the violets with sugar.
  • Candied violets

Note

There is a shop in Spain that has been selling a magical treat - candied violets for almost 100 years. This shop was opened in 1915 by D. Mariano Gil. It stands in the same place now, not far from the Sun Square. The decor in the shop resembles a shop in color. Showcases are decorated in delicate colors of violet, flowers, ribbons, bows, beautiful boxes are everywhere.
Over the years, this confectionery has become a favorite for local residents, for children - as a place for all kinds of sweets, and for older people this store is associated with nostalgia and sweet (in the literal sense of the word) memories of their distant childhood. From the first steps of its formation, this elegant confectionery shop became famous for its products - caramelos de violeta (violeta in Spanish means both purple and our favorite flower - violet). Caramel shaped like a flower, made by hand with the addition of violet essence. Here you can also buy extraordinary flavored chocolates, sugar-coated chestnuts and the famous candied violet flowers. Tourists who have visited Spain must go to this store and bring candied, delicate flowers or ordinary caramel candies in the shape of a small violet to their family and friends as a souvenir.

I have not been to Spain ... But I can treat my family to caramelos de violet

Candied violets
If today I collected and cut flowers all day, tomorrow I will knit purple bows. How is it ... in the locker ...

And the mood is the most spring-violet!
"Oh, Lily of liqueurs, - oh, Crème de Violette! I drank a violet violet of dreams ..." This means that tomorrow I will go to collect violets for liqueur, not only for Igor Severyanin ...
And I also want jam, marmalade, syrup (found in Dumas's novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", he could almost always be found in the kitchen in a good house. For example, in the house of the Crown Attorney, Monsieur Villefort, and our house is also nothing like that ... )
Well I say the mood is violet-spring!

Helen, what wonderful violets! I'll bookmark the recipe. I always dreamed of candied violets. But Anechka would like to ask: "And where are violets in bloom in our suburbs now?" In the south of the Moscow region, violets appear not earlier than the first days of May, and this is in good weather, on a hillock, in the sun. I will wait for the real spring.

No, Anh, such will not work, Toko with the ECO or BIO sign, or whatever! Even from the store, a potted violet will not go.

Today I picked up more violets (Mannochka, you won’t swear, what’s in your clearing?). 15 trays of the Isidri dryer were filled to capacity. Leaves and stems and flowers were also used. Powerful medicine! Part of it was poured with vodka, there will be tincture, part of the flowers also went to the preparation of liqueur, and part to violet syrup. Fairy of flowers I am today, well, just exactly Fairy, no more, no less

Lena, so I will wait for forest violets. The forest is nice, clean and the violets are large, but also with a delicate fragrance. I just admire these.

Violet madness continues or the second part of the Marlezon ballet

I dried the leaves, stems and flowers of violets in a dryer. Sewed canvas bags for storing weed.I even embroidered violets (or rather, not me, but a machine, I only changed the threads). I will use it not only for brewing tea, but also for medicinal purposes.

Candied violets

Last night I rubbed the flowers in a mortar and poured boiling water over them. (Of course, you could break it with a blender, but yesterday I played Fairy, and the Forest Fairy cannot have a blender, so only a mortar). The color of the liquid became not at all violet, but some ..., in general, like a solution of brilliant green. Bright, intense. Then I remembered that I was not just a Forest Fairy, but a Fairy from the Bread Maker, so the Multicooker was used. She poured everything into Ourson's saucepan and put yogurt on the program for 8 hours. In the morning, the color of the infusion was like in the photograph in bottles. Dropped. I made syrup from some water, and the cake went into violet jam.

I left some of the syrup in a saucepan, added the remaining cake, fresh violet flowers. I boiled it a little, quite a bit, turned it into mashed potatoes with an immersion blender right in the pan, added a little lemon juice and put it in jars. Jam or confiture, or whatever you can call it, delicious!

Candied violets

And this ... And this will be violet liqueur. Lightly grind the flowers, add vodka and put in a dark place for two weeks. Remembering to stir! Then add the syrup and leave for a couple of weeks. Strain.

Interesting things, we still have snow, I'm sick. Pleases the eye as I say the first furrow - seedlings on the windowsill. You will look out the window, the snow from the street and the greenery of the seedlings are such a mix .... and here is a blue-blue field We have such violets growing in the garden as they want, but there is no government for them! A little overlooked and they are all masters of the situation, well, and tore them mercilessly, and here it is! What did you translate good? Now I know for sure, it's all about! Thank you!
Ilona
) And I don't have violets yet, but maybe I'll find a couple of bald spots in the local forests in May, then I'll definitely pick up at least a handful of another. But I have violet syrup, it costs almost a year unopened, and all because I do not know where it is better to apply it? It’s just as sorry, but it’s much better to spend it in a confectioner, and I didn’t decide, and then I forgot about it, hiding away

And my daughter just yesterday asked for a cake with violets. I have neither syrup nor violets. Besides the forest, are they nowhere else?

Len, and Len, tell us, when do you manage to Usyo? I ask myself this question every time ??? How many hours do you have in a day ???
Anyuta! Who said that I have time for everything? !!! The patient lay for a week, the violets were cured, and more! The work has been waiting for me. After an hour I leave for Sochi, in the morning I have to be there. The track has already been opened, but I do not know how the traffic jams are there, so I will go now. If it were not for the device-devices, figs would have done well. And so ... You can live! Embroider? You are welcome! Just find the drawing, the machine itself will do everything. And at that time I washed the windows (spring!) And did not ask to go to the Bathhouse, by the way ... But I have ... a lot, a lot. Again, not herself, but with Karcher. Before the illness I sewed a beautiful dress, a jacket for him ... But! The dress was in time, but the jacket, and remained with one pocket and without buttons.I’ll come tomorrow, I’ll make sure to wear it, otherwise Spring will fly by, and in Summer in a jacket ... nooooo
And so many more ideas! And there is no time! Time is only in our heads.If we drive ourselves, speed up, then time flies at an incredible speed. But if you take and slow down, stop thinking about running away time, it stops running away. Stops and stands nearby. He looks with interest: "And you, what are you doing? Can you help?" Only he, time, needs to be interested so that he was interested in next to you, then he will not run away. This is verified, it works. But you don't always remember this, you don't always use it. I want everything faster, everything faster! But it doesn't work, time runs with even greater speed, alas ... Remember how Bulgakov's? "The one who is in no hurry always succeeds"
I went to get ready for the road, don't tell me, but you need to hurry.

Ilona
gyyy .... come on, come on !!! I will also make apple tea, I have it - tops from trees and bushes and not only the apple tree grows, there are also raspberries with currants and cherries! The raspberry leaf is generally a treasure for pregnant women. If you grind it dried into powder and add a leaf to food, then you get the whole complex of vitamins!

Quote: Ilona
The raspberry leaf is so generally a storehouse for pregnant women

But you need to be more careful with him, since in pregnant women it can cause premature birth, etc. True, this is definitely about tea from leaves, but I do not know about adding to food.
It is often taken before childbirth when PDD has occurred and there is no labor.

No, well, you don't need to be zealous in anything ... I remember her friend's doctor, a gynecologist, wrote her that the birth would go well, and I lamented that I found out about it late, because in the summer I could have gathered up. But it’s better to play it safe and learn more.
