A List of Edible Flowers

Edible flowers should be garden-fresh & free of chemicals

Carnation                                          Lilac
Cornflower                                      Nasturtium
Crysanthemums                          Orange Blossom

Use fresh edible flowers in salads and as a beautiful garnish for desserts.
Dried edible flowers may be used also.
Have fun experimenting!

Before using fresh flowers, rinse,  handling with care.
Remove pistils, stamens & the white part at the base of the petals
because it may be bitter in taste.

Rose Recipes

Rose Petal Sandwich

1 to 2 teaspoons of xxx sugar or to taste
8 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
6 – 8 fragrant organic Roses

Lightly whip together the butter, water or flavoring & sugar.
Spread onto bread slices.
Cut the bread into desired shapes;  I like using a round biscuit cutter.
Sprinkle with petals & serve  open face Or
top with second slice of bread, letting petals  overflow the edges slightly.

If desired, use rose water as part of the liquid in making the cake.
Spread Rasberry or Strawberry or Rose Jam between layers of cake.
