Orange-Flower Candy (Another receipt)

Source: Eliza Acton, 1845

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Throw the orange-flowers into the syrup when it has boiled about ten minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Then bring the syrup to the point of boiling, strain it from the blossoms through a muslin, and finish it by the foregoing receipt.
