Beautiful Rose Petal Jam

This beautifully vibrant jam captures the delicate essence of rose petals, making it perfect for pairing with various desserts or spreading on your morning toast.

### Ingredients

200 grams of fresh, organic rose petals (ensure they are pesticide-free)
1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
1 cup of water
1 lemon (juiced)
¼ teaspoon of salt
Pectin (optional, for quicker setting)

Instructions

First, rinse the rose petals under cold water to remove any dirt or insects. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, creating a syrup-like consistency.
Once the syrup is ready, reduce the heat, and add the rose petals. Stir gently to coat all the petals with the syrup.
Let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to ensure the petals do not stick to the bottom.
If you prefer a thicker jam, you can add pectin as per the package instructions at this stage and cook according to the directions.
Once the jam has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam can last up to 3-4 weeks in the fridge.

Now that you’ve made this heavenly homemade rose petal jam, it’s time to enjoy it! Spread it on scones, mix it into yogurt, or use it to elevate your desserts. The fragrant flavor of rose will bring an exquisite touch to every bite.
