ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup fresh lilac flowers

Method

  • Step 1

    Harvest fresh lilac flowers. Make sure there are no stems in the the 3/4 cup of lilac flowers.

  • Step 2

    In a clean mason jar, layer the flower petals and sugar. Screw on top, with a piece of wax paper between the lid. Store in a dark place and shake every day for a week.

  • Step 3

    Strain out the flowers, or you can either blend it in the food processor. I like little bits of the purple in the jar.
