Best 5 Sugared Pink Rose Petals Recipes
Roses are popular flowers for their beauty and fragrance, with various colors and types available. Less commonly known is that certain varieties of roses produce edible petals. Becoming a popular garnish or ingredient in sweet treats, sugared pink rose petals add a unique, delicate flavor. Selecting the right type of petals is crucial, as not all rose petals are edible. Specific varieties suited for consumption, such as the Damask and Centifolia roses, offer a pleasing taste.

HOMEMADE CRYSTALLISED ROSE PETALS
My Mum taught me how to do these when I was about ten years old - I remember helping her pick the roses! I try to have a good store of crystallised rose petals, as they are such an imginative, beautiful and edible decoration for cakes and desserts etc. Make sure your rose petals are free from pesticides and are not traffic polluted either. The more the fragrant the rose, the more fragrant the taste when you eat them! I have given these as gifts before, in an attractive tin and with an attached recipe hanging from the ribbon - unusual and yet edible! They are wonderful as decorations for my Recipe #183505.
