HOMEMADE CANDIED ANGELICA - FOR CAKES, BAKES AND DESSERTS
An aromatic and graceful herb that I grow in my garden; Angelica is a member of the Parsley family, and is known mostly for it's candied stems for cake decorating, as well as the leaves for teas, tisanes, jams and desserts. It is known as 'Herb of the Angels' (hence the name) because it was believed to have ancient medicinal properties. This elegant tall plant has a long firm stem and bright green leaves. If you have the time to candy your own angelica, it is well worth the effort - the commercial varieties have added colourants and flavourings, which is such a shame, as the subtle flavour of this beautiful herb needs no additives whatsoever. The instructions may seem longwinded, but it is very easy and is just repeating the same actions over several days, before drying them on a rack or screen and storing. Use the stems to decorate cakes, trifles and desserts.

Steps:
- Please note, in order to have this recipe posted, I had to put in quantities - they are approximate, depending on how many stems you are candying!
- Cut angelica stalks in their 2nd year. Unlike many other plants, the big stalks are better as long as they are still green (not purple or white).
- De-leaf, remove leaf stalks and cut into pieces of about 6 inches, and soak in cold water for about 8 hours.
- Boil water and plunge the stalks inches Boil until the stalks begin to soften (add about half teaspoon of baking soda per pint of water to keep the vivid green colour, which is associated with 'real' candied angelica that is found in France) It also helps to soften.
- Cool under running water, drain, then peel removing the long stringy parts on the outside of the stalks.
- Put them into a syrup made up of of 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup water; soak for 24 hours.
- Cook in them in the syrup and repeat once a day for four days, by which time the angelica should be translucent without losing shape.
- Remove the angelica stems from the pan and let them drain on a covered rack or screen until dry and glossy.
- N.B.(You can roll the stems in caster sugar, BEFORE drying them on the rack/screen if you wish.).
- Store in an airtight tin or jar, and in a cool, dark place; they will last for up to 2 years in the right storage conditions.
- Cut the stems into appropriate lengths and use to decorate cakes, trifles, desserts or ice cream sundaes.

MAKE YOUR OWN CANDIED ANGELICA!
I am a big fan of candied angelica and love to decorate my cakes with it. I have one problem.....I like to snack on it too! I refuse to buy the kind that you find in most supermarket stores - it's a toxic green colour & doesn't even taste like angelica...so I spend quite a bit more money & buy it from a local organic market. I can't afford to buy so much these days so I wanted a recipe ... & here it is. I'm hoping to buy some angelica plants to keep in my garden too! Time to make doesn't include the draining time!

Steps:
- Working in dry weather, start with about 2 pounds young, tender angelica stalks and stems. Cut them into even lengths and put them into a glass or ceramic bowl.
- Bring 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil and pour over the angelica, weighting with a plate so it's fully submerged. Cover and let soak 2 hours.
- Drain the angelica, peel off and discard the stringy outer celery-like layer, then rinse under cold water.
- Make sugar syrup by bringing 3 cups sugar and 3 cups water to a boil.
- Simmer the angelica in the syrup for 20 minutes, or until tender and transparent. Remove and drain, reserving the syrup. Spread the angelica in a single layer on a wire rack and leave to drain and dry for 4 days.
- Boil the angelica in the syrup again for 10 minutes, adding water if the syrup is too thick, and drain on a wire rack for 4 days longer.
- Dust with granulated sugar and store in an airtight container, cutting into decorative bits as needed. This recipe may also be used to candy fennel stalks.

- Cut your angelica stems to a length that will fit into the jar you plan on storing them in. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Get a bowl of ice water ready. Boil the stems for 5 minutes, then shock in the ice water.
- Meanwhile, bring the water and syrup to a boil. Get a glass or other non-reactive container ready for the stems and syrup. When the angelica is ready, put the stems in the container and pour the hot syrup over them. Let this come to room temperature, then cover. Let this sit at room temperature overnight.
- Next day pour the syrup into a pot. Bring it to a boil and add the angelica stems. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then pour everything back into the container. Let this come to room temperature, cover, then store overnight again. Do this once or twice more.
- After the final syrup boil, set the stalks on a rack to cool and dry a bit. When they are room temperature, roll them in granulated or caster sugar and store in a jar.

- Cut the stems into 3-4 inch lengths, or whatever size you'd like depending on the container you will store them in.
- To peel the stems, which I recommend, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil, then add the stems and cook for a minute or two, working in batches if necessary. The blanching will loosen the tough skins. Peel the angelica with a paring knife. Meanwhile, add the sugar to the poaching liquid and allow to melt.
- Bring some water to a boil, then blanch the angelica leaves just until wilted, about 10 seconds, then remove the leaves to an ice bath. Remove the leaves and dry. Whisk the egg white with the sugar until fluffy and doubled in volume.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the leaves with the mixture and lay them out on a nonstick silpat and dry with a fan blowing on them or put them in a dehydrator. If you're using a dehydrator, make sure to spray the trays with nonstick pan spray or something similar since the leaves get brittle as they dry.
