Candied Anise Seeds Recipe

How to make it

---

• Gently heat the sugar and water.
• Stir until dissolved.
• Quit stirring and raise heat.
• Cook until it reaches 110 degrees C (225 degrees F).
• Remove the syrup from the heat and dip the bottom of the pan in cold water to stop it cooking.
• Use a small omelette pan over low heat to warm the seeds in.
• Add the syrup a teaspoon at a time to the seeds in the omelette pan while keeping it over very low heat.
• Candy the seeds and stir and seperate and dry them over the
• low heat, adding more syrup to build up the layers.
• Repeat until they are the size desired and then dry them in the same pan over low heat.
• The important part is the keeping the seeds in motion over low heat
• while the syrup is added.
• They whiten as they dry, so they should be stirred until dry and cool in the pan.
• Use a candy thermometer and cook to 225 degrees F.
• Then try candying them in a second small skillet, letting them coat and dry while keeping them stirred.
