Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 package fresh rosemary 1.5-2 oz

Instructions

  • Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water into a small pot. Heat gently, only until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil!
  • Remove from heat and, in batches, gently place whole rosemary sprigs. Make sure the rosemary is coated, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Place coated rosemary on a cooling rack or a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Allow to dry for at least 1 hour. Hands off!
  • Spread out the remaining sugar on a flat plate. Roll the rosemary in sugar to completely coat it. You may need to use a fork to separate the leaves to completely coat the branch.
  • Add to your holiday cakes, charcuterie boards, or signature cocktails for a festive photo opportunity!
