I preserved some cherry blossom petals in salt, which was an interesting activity, but then I had to come up with a way of using them.
Add jello to your hanami (cherry blossom viewing) bento. It will look like the cherry blossoms are dancing when reflected in the wobbling jello.

Add the jello layer once the strawberry pudding layer has set fully.

The preserved cherry blossoms will be very salty so rinse thoroughly with warm water before use. Recipe by sinobu2253
