Candied Rose Petals

Ingredients:
-3 pints rose petals
-2 cups water
-21/2 cups sugar

Gather the petals when the roses are in full bloom and dewy fresh. Spread on clean white cloth to dry. Boil sugar and water together until candy thermometer registers 270 degrees fahrenheit. Remove from heat and add dried rose petals, making sure that all are well covered with syrup. Leave petals in syrup until they have become somewhat transparent, then gently lift them out with a slotted spoon, and place them in a sieve to drain. Shake the petals about now and then to ensure even crystallization. When sugar-coated and cooled, place petals between folds of tissue paper and store in cool location.
