Some recipes

**Elderberry Blossom Wine
 Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1 gallon Boiling water
      1 qt Elder blossoms
      3 lb Sugar
      1    Lemon; thinly sliced
      1 pack  yeast
 
 Put blossoms in a large kettle and pour water over  them. Let stand 1 hour. Strain, add sugar to  liquid, boil a little and skim. When lukewarm, add  lemon and yeast. Let stand 24 hours, then strain  and put into bottles or jugs, filling full until  all impurities are worked out. Be sure to fill up  jugs as fast as it works out and the wine will be
 a beautiful amber color. (In making this wine, be  careful to keep all stems out, as they make the  wine taste rank and give it a dark color). Cork  tightly.


 


Crystallized Violets

Pick perfectly formed violets first thing in the morning, after the dew has dried.  Using a clean artist's paintbrush, carefully paint them with lightly beaten egg white. While still wet, dip them in extra-fine sugar. Dry in a very slow oven or food dehydrator until crisp. This can take up to 24 hours depending on humidity. Use immediately, or gently remove and store them in an airtight container.

This method also works well for violas and other small flowers.
