Title: French Comfits
Categories: Candy
Yield: 1 Batch

1/4 c Sugar
1/3 c Water
1 tb Fennel seeds

In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil.

Add the fennel seeds and simmer for 1 minute.

Strain the mixture to remove the fennel seeds reserving the sugar
syrup. Spread the seeds out on a plate and allow to cool for 2
minutes.

Bring the syrup back to boil and repeat the straining and simmering
steps as many times as you like.

I did this three times before the seeds were too sticky to work with.
The seeds were sweeter each time they came out of the hot syrup and
cooled. Woolley suggests 8-10 coats of sugar. However, Woolley also
instructs you to roll the hot seeds in the syrup with your bare
hands. In any case, reserve the syrup at the end. I'm excited to add
this leftover fennel-infused simple syrup in cocktails.

Allow the seeds to cool completely. Store them for future use.
