As my "lawn" begins it's annual yellow bloom, I would like to put some of those flowers to use. I have several recipes to work from, but having read them, I still have a couple Q's.
1. Can you freeze the flowers like you do fruit? I was hoping to collect enough for a batch and freeze some for later. Does this apply to ALL flower wines?
2. Does ALL of the green sepal around the base of the flower need to be removed?
3. If #1 & 2 are YES - is it best to remove the sepal BEFORE freezing?
4. Is there a simple way to do this? Scissors, maybe - black magic or some secret vintner technique?
Thanks
