Violette de Liège
A hard candy flavoured with violet, traditionally made in Liège. Its floral, fragrant taste and mauve colour make it a typical sweet to enjoy at the end of a meal or on a stroll.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the sugar, water and glucose syrup into a heavy-based saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Let it boil without stirring until it reaches 150 °C on a thermometer (hard-crack stage).
- Remove from the heat, add the violet essence and colouring, then mix quickly.
- Pour the mixture onto an oiled work surface or a silicone mat.
- Let it harden for 10 minutes, then break into pieces with a small hammer or a knife and store in an airtight box.
Variations and tips
Without colouring. Keep the natural amber colour of the sugar by leaving out the food colouring.
