on the west side of our church yard rises an enormous, lengthy hedge of lilacs.
i look forward to this time of year when each sunday, the sight and scent welcomes churchgoers.
i've always had a penchant for lilac. when i was a teenager, it was my favorite color....
my bedroom was lilac and my mother made my prom dress in white with lilac details.
lilac's ability to spellbound with color and smell is all well and good but this year i decided to step it up a bit, y'know live on the edge, intoxicating a new sense with lilac's magic. taste.....
lilac sugar
clean, pesticide free, dry lilac petals
*purple are the most fragrant
granulated sugar
glass jar
shake every once in a while.....
combine flowers and sugar in a jar. store on a dark shelf in a cool room for a couple of days.
voila, your sugar is ready!
use it for baking, spoon it in a cup of tea, sprinkle over frosted cupcakes.
have a lovely weekend.
You and I must be on the same wave length. I borrowed some branches from the church bushes last week!
