This is so delightful in every way. I must agree the scent is beguiling and bewitching and I love the lush colors. I don't have a lilac growing in "my" yard at the moment but I'm happy to be able to pass by them in the neighborhood.
I'm so excited for this cool project! I'd love to try lilac sugar in some recipe...hmm, lilac sugar in shortbread? Lilac sugar cookies? Yum yum! Keep me posted on how your experiment turns out!
I had these blooming outside of my new apartment and I didn't know what they were but they smelled amazing. I thought they could be some sort of jasmine but I'm so happy to know they are lilacs now. All of the flowers are brown now but I did pick some the other day and put some in an oil and some in some alcohol just to experiment with. Thank you for this knowledge.

I've become rather obsessed over edible flowers, so more experiments are already perking away in my brain...LOL
I used to read through this old book my mom had on cake decorating and it had one cake covered in sugared violets! So pretty.
I think it was to Jen Stiles that I remarked that lemons and lilacs make a very tasty combo. sprinkle that lilac sugar over a lemon glaze--and yum!
ooooh that sound delicious!

I'm glad you enjoyed the post and I hope your experiments are successful. Thanks for writing, Wren
