Candied Angelica

7 oz bag - The Confiserie Florian du Vieux Nice, France

ingredients: angelica, glucose-frustose syrup, caramel sugar, citric acid, brilliant blue, sulphur dioxide

Candied angelica is a sweet confection made from the stems of the angelica plant, typically Angelica archangelica.

The stems are first soaked in a sugar syrup and then dried, which preserves them and gives them a sugary, crystallized coating. Candied angelica is often used as a decorative ingredient in baking and desserts, adding both a mild herbal flavor and a vibrant green color to cakes, pastries, and other sweets.

Angelica has a distinct flavor, somewhat similar to licorice or juniper, with a sweet, aromatic quality. The candied version retains this unique flavor while adding the sweetness of sugar. It's traditionally used in classic European pastries, including fruitcakes, cookies, and marzipan.
