The Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot

Walt Disney World’s Flower & Garden Festival takes place every year at Epcot. From early March until late May, the Disney Festival takes place. The International Flower and Garden Festival first took place in 1994, however in 2015, numerous modifications were made.

 

The Epcot festival has a lot of new topiaries, butterfly gardens, and the Garden Rocks Concert series. More days were added to the flower and garden festival each year as these additions were made.

Lotus House is the place to go for Chinese cuisine during Epcot’s flower and garden festival. It is not to be confused with Lotus Cafe, a fast service counter. This is also found in the China Pavilion.

Beijing-Style Candied Strawberries

Beijing-Style Candied Strawberries may be seen at the Lotus House in 2015. These strawberry candies were a big hit. Unfortunately, this strawberry snack hasn’t been seen in a few years during Epcot’s International Flower And Garden Festival.

 

Frushi and Beijing Strawberries were also quite popular. The two Asian cuisine samples were a treat for the Disney crowd’s taste buds!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar (granulated)
  • 1 cup of water
  • corn syrup (two teaspoons)
  • 2 tblsp balsamic vinaigrette
  • a dozen strawberries
  • seeds of sesame (optional)

Instructions

  1. Strawberries should be cleaned and dried. Set away until you’re ready to dip.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and balsamic vinegar.
  3. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Continue to simmer, without stirring, over medium or medium high heat until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees and the liquid has decreased by little more than half, approximately 20 minutes (watch for boil overs!).
  5. Remove from heat and wait 2 minutes for the bubbles and froth to subside, revealing the liquid.
  6. Sesame seeds may be added if desired.
  7. Dip strawberries in the sugar mixture rapidly, letting extra to flow off the strawberry’s tip.
  8. To achieve an equal coating and dispersion of sugar shell, turn the strawberry several times.
  9. Place on wax paper or aluminum foil that has been gently oiled.
  10. Place strawberries in the freezer for 15 minutes to solidify the coating, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  11. To avoid sweating and keep the coating crispy, serve straight from the fridge.
