Orange Flower Lollipops

Orange Flower Lollipops

MAKES ABOUT 8

Ingredients
  

  • Lollipop sticks
  • Assortment of edible dried flowers*
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract

Method
 

  1. Place lollipop sticks into desired small silicone molds. Arrange 2 to 3 dried flowers into each mold.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar over medium-high heat, gently stirring until sugar dissolves. Once mixture begins to boil, stop stirring. Boil until a candy thermometer registers 300 ̊. Remove from heat and stir in extract. Let cool until most bubbles have dissipated. Pour into mold over flowers, using a toothpick to rearrange flowers if necessary. Let cool at room temperature until candy is set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Notes

*We used elderflower, violet, lavender, and peach blossoms.
