Can redbud blossoms be dried for later use?

And now I’ve tried them. We have a couple redbud trees in our backyard. They are just faintly pea-ish, and they have a lovely sweet flavor. I put them in a fairly random salad I threw together: baby spinach, a boiled egg, a little cheddar cheese, some cold leftover couscous, and beautiful purple flowers. All the other flavors nearly completely mask them, but they do look beautiful.

So that’s what those lovely purple trees are. I’m not native to the area I live in now, so I had never seen them before and certainly had no idea they were edible. I shall have to go try some.

Wow, I had no idea that redbud flowers were edible. I’m very happy to know that! Your sauce sounds excellent.
