Rose Petal Jam

 

1 cup fresh rose petals (must never have been sprayed with any chemicals)

¾ cup water

2½ cups sugar

1 package pectin (i.e. Sure Jell)

¾ cup water

 

Puree rose petals, ¾ cup water and lemon juice in blender until smooth. Slowly add

sugar. Blend till all sugar has dissolved (leave in blender). Stir 1 package pectin

(i.e. Sure Jell) into ¾ cup water, bring to a boil, and boil hard for 1 minute. Pour

mixture into blender with rose petal mixture until well blended. Do this very quickly –

it sets up FAST!! Pour into baby food jars. Let set for 6 hours, till firm. Will keep one

month in refrigerator. Freezes well.
