Orange-Flower Candy (Another receipt)
Source: Eliza Acton, 1845
Instructions
- The French, who are very fond of the delicious flavour of the orange-blossom, leave the petals in the candy; but a more delicate confection, to English taste, is made as follows.
- Throw the orange-flowers into the syrup when it has boiled about ten minutes.
- After they have simmered in it for five more, pour the whole out, and leave them to infuse until the following day, or even longer if more convenient.
- Then bring the syrup to the point of boiling, strain it from the blossoms through a muslin, and finish it by the foregoing receipt.
