Hi Everyone, I have a new Lilac flower recipe to share with you today: Lilac Flower Sugar!
This is one of my favorite ways to use Lilac flowers because you can still really smell the scent of the Lilac Flowers because that is one of their most distinctive traits, apart from their visual beauty.

HAVE GOOD FORAGING BOOKS AND GUIDE
I use the book, “Northeast Foraging” as a guidebook, specific to my region. I suggest you also ask people who are experts in foraging in person to give you 2nd options when foraging. Never eat wild food that you are not 100% sure is safe to eat! Remember, always safety first!

I cannot have sugar, but would this work with erythritol? Thanks!
Sara Maniez says
I have not tried that option, but if you try it, let us know how it works out, thank you!
Sara Maniez says
Dear Abby, to answer your question, yes, in theory, you can make Lilac Flower Erythritol by following the same process described in the recipe for Lilac Flower Sugar. Simply substitute erythritol for sugar in the recipe, and proceed with the same steps for infusing the lilac flowers in the sweetener.
It's important to note that erythritol is a sugar alcohol that does not have the same properties as sugar, so the texture and taste of the final product may differ slightly from that of the original recipe. However, it's still possible to achieve a similar floral flavor and aroma with erythritol.
Also, keep in mind that erythritol may have different levels of sweetness compared to sugar, so you may need to adjust the amount of erythritol used in the recipe to achieve your desired level of sweetness. I will add that I have not personally tried this method at this point in time. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out. Thank you for your question, kind regards, Sara

Thanks for the recipe! How long does this last in the fridge?
Sara Maniez says
This recipe for Lilac Flower Sugar should last for several weeks to several months if stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sugar will absorb the fragrance and flavor of the lilac flowers, and the longer it sits, the stronger the flavor will become. However, the color may fade over time. Be sure to use a clean, dry spoon each time you use the sugar to avoid introducing moisture to the container, which could cause the sugar to clump or spoil. If you notice any signs of spoilage, such as mold or an off odor, discard the sugar.
