My Orange Blossom Sugar Tastes Like Sugar

I thought it was going to be so awesome. I thought I would be able to infuse sugar with the taste of the sweet scent of orange blossoms. The smell is there but the taste is so delicate I'm not sure anyone would be able to taste it. Maybe I will set up blind taste tests to see. I would hate to sell something that would be a disappointment. I have 50lbs of sugar in my pantry. You can count on me for desserts for a while. Hopefully my neighbors will come over and ask to borrow a cup or two or five.

In any case I hope you enjoyed being with the orange blossoms as much as I did. This spring in Phoenix has been so wonderful. I'm sorry to be seeing it leave.

If you are interested in how to infuse sugar I will give you the steps. Maybe you could come up with fun ideas to infuse sugar. Maybe citrus rinds, or cinnamon.

1. Gather orange blossoms, wash, dry, and bruise.




2. Buy Sugar

3. Put orange blossoms in sugar







4. Cover and let sit for 3 weeks.







5. Enjoy and hope it taste like more than just sugar.
