Directions
-
The most important thing about candying angelica is to choose stalks that are young and tender.
-
In other words, angelica is only worth candying in April or May when the shoots are new and softly coloured.
-
Trim the young shoots into 3-4 inch lengths, put them into a pan,
-
cover with water and bring to a
-
boil .
-
Drain and scrape away tough skin and fibrous threads with a potato peeler, rather as you might
-
prepare celery.
-
Return the angelica to the pan, pour on fresh boiling water and cook until green and tender.
-
If the shoots are as youthful as they should be, this will take 5 minutes or less.
-
Drain the stalks and dry them.
-
Put them into a bowl and
-
sprinkle granulated sugar between layers, allowing 1 pound of sugar for every 1 pound of angelica.
-
Cover and leave for 2 to 3 days.
-
Slide contents of the bowl into a heavy-based pan.
-
Bring very slowly to the boil and simmer until the angelica feels perfectly tender and looks clear.
-
Drain , then
-
roll or
-
toss the shoots on greaseproof paper thickly strewn with sugar, letting the angelica take up as much sugar as will stick to it.
-
Then dry off the angelica - without letting it become hard - in the oven, using the lowest possible temperature.
-
place the stalks directly on the oven shelves (with trays underneath to catch any falling sugar) and find they need about 3 hours.
-
Wrap and store after cooling completely.
-
Packed into pretty little boxes, home-candied angelica makes a charming present.
