🌸 The beautiful magnolia tree in the Garden is in full bloom - a true sign of spring! To celebrate, we thought we'd share our special Pickled Magnolia recipe with you, brought to us by a karma yogi! Enjoy a taste of the Garden! 🩷 Ingredients: - 1 mason jar full of magnolia flower petals (do your research to ensure you choose an edible variety) - 2 cups of rice vinegar - 2 tbsp granulated sugar - 2 tsp salt To pickle: - Carefully pick, clean & dry petals. They bruise when handled so be gentle 🙂 - Add petals to a mason jar - Add vinegar, sugar & salt to saucepan, warm and allow salt & sugar to dissolve. Stir as needed. - Pour vinegar mixture over petals. - Use a spoon to submerge & coat petals, cover with lid, and allow to come to room temperature. - Place in fridge. Pickled petals will be ready within to eat within a couple hours, but will last in the fridge for up to 4 months. The longer you leave them pickling, the stronger the flavour will be. (fb)
