Tuesday experiments (ETA another picture)

[hlmauera]

We made crystallized rose petals today for Josh's vigil.

First we collected a lot of these:




Then we whipped an egg white:



Grabbed our paint brushes and began to paint petal by petal:












After a while my hands had so much egg on them that I could almost put the paint brush down and use my fingers to spread the egg.



Then we sprinkled them with super fine sugar (we put granulated sugar through a blender):






Sugar laden petals:



Interestingly enough, different colors of petals absorbed the sugar at different rates.



The trays of petals went into the dehydrator but there was a bit of sugar left behind.


Marian will take pictures when they come out of the dryer.
