- Pick perfectly formed violets first thing in the morning, after the dew has dried.
- Using a clean artist’s paintbrush, carefully paint them with lightly beaten egg white.
- While still wet, dip them in extra-fine sugar.
- Dry in a very slow oven or food dehydrator until crisp. This can take up to 24 hours depending on humidity.
- Use immediately, or gently remove and store them in an airtight container.
