Orange Flowers Candied

The flowers may be placed at once in boiling water or, as sometimes preferred, soaked in cold water for twentyfour hours, this poured off and fresh, boiling water substituted. Let the flowers boil a few minutes, then remove carefully and lightly pour over them cold water. Drain and place on cotton or linen cloth, sprinkling over them twice their weight of powdered sugar. Spread then on platters and let stand in a shady place for ten days or less that the sugar may be thoroughly absorbed, when place in sun or cool oven or dryer to dry. Pack away with layers of powdered sugar.
