As spring approaches a fun recipe for your liliac blossoms

Lilacs are not only one of my favorite spring flowers having not only beautiful flowers most spring but also like many flowers have abundant and edible flowers.

A delicious recipe to preserve the aroma and flavor of your lilacs is lilac honey.

To make Lilac honey first get a clear small jar. For your first batch a baby food jar will do fine. Pack the jar with the individual flowers and petals of lilac until full. Now cover the lilac flowers and petals with honey and put the lid on the jar.

Let the jar settle for a day or so and then pack in more blossoms and cover with honey once more. Continue until the jar is completely full of honey and blossoms, the tighten the lid and let sit.

Stored in your refrigerator until the next winter the lilac honey will preserve the delicate aroma of your lilacs through the dreary days of winter.

When you want a treat take a teaspoon and savor the aroma then enjoy the taste of your honey. As the flavor is quite delicate you will want to either eat the honey by itself or stir it into warm water as a refreshing desert drink

Never thought if eating them. Thanks for the tip

All the credit goes to my grandmother for the lilac honey recipe though. I know she loved lilacs, my grandpa planted them everywhere for her and so she found a way to preserve them into the next winter as a treat.

Very nice. Im definitely going to give it a go.

Beautiful photos. We had white, pink and purple lilacs. I did not know that honey could be made. Our grandmothers know a lot about what can be made of plants and flowers. People were healthier before, today is all a full of chemicals and poisons. Thanks for the recipe.

This sounds divine!! Thank you for sharing brother!

I had no idea Lilacs could be eaten! Sounds like it would produce an interesting flavor.
