INGREDIENTS

6 To 7 dozen pesticide-free
edible small flowers
petals or mint leaves
see Note
3/4 c Sugar
1/3 c Meringue powder mixed
with 3 to 4 T water or
if
not to be eaten 3 large
egg whites

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse flowers, petals, or leaves in cool water and gently pat dry on
facial tissues. In separate small bowls, place sugar and
meringue-powder mixture (or egg whites if the decorations will not be
eaten). Holding 1 flower, petal, or leaf at a time, with a tiny
paintbrush, paint all sides with meringue-powder mixture. Holding the
flower, petal, or leaf over the bowl of sugar, sprinkle all sides  with
sugar until well coated. Place sugared flower, petal, or leaf  directly
on wire rack over waxed paper and let stand in warm place  until sugar
dries and hardens. Repeat to coat all pieces. Rinse and  dry fingers
frequently to remove stickiness. Store sugared flowers,  petals, or
leaves in an airtight container with waxed paper between  the layers
until ready to use.  Note: Purchase edible flowers from a gourmet
produce market or organic  gardener. Flowers from a florist will not be
pesticide-free. You may  use pansies, violets, violas, chrysanthemums,
nasturtiums, primroses,  or roses. Already sugared edible flowers can
be found in gourmet  shops; sugared pansies can be ordered by mail from
Grapevine Trading  Co., 59 Maxwell Ct., Santa Rosa, CA 95401; (707)
576-3950.  Note: Meringue powder is used as a coating here and can be
purchased  wherever cake-decorating supplies are, sold or by mail from
Wilton  Industries, Inc., 2240 West 75th St., Woodridge, IL 60517 (708)
963-7100. If the sugared flowers are not to be eaten and are for
display only, use egg whites instead.  Country Living Holidays/1994
