1/2 cup granulated sugar (or more as desired)I N S T R U C T I O N S
Bring 1 quart of water to a boil then
add the flowers and the sugar and stir continuously while the mixture boils for one
minute. Pour into a noncorrosive bowl and steep for approximately 2 hours. This time may
be as little as 1 hour for very fresh pods and 2 1/2 hours for older pods.
Use your hand or a spoon and break up the softened pods to free the pulp and the seeds.

tart add more sugar. Cover and refrigerate until time to serve. Stir before serving
