Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Choose Serving Size 5 -6 small jars

Ingredients 

  • 12 large rose flowers I used edible Damask rose
  • 200 ml 6¾ fl oz water
  • 60 ml 2 fl oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 kg 2 lb 3¼ oz jellifying sugar (It contains pectin)

Instructions

  • Wash the jars and lids thoroughly.
  • Sterilize the jars. I place the jars and lids on an oven tray and leave them in the oven at 150C (302F) for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the rose flowers so you'll remove any bugs or impurities.
  • Take the petals off and put them in a bowl.
  • In a large, non-stick pot, add the lemon juice, water and sugar. Place the pot on high heat. Mix well.
  • Once it starts bubbling and all sugar is melted (6-10 minutes), add the rose petals.
  • Mix well to coat all the petals in the syrup.
  • Take a kitchen thermometer and place it in the jam, while also stirring continuously. Once it reaches 105C (221F), you can turn off the heat.
  • Let the jam cool a bit.
  • Using a ladle, pour the jam into each sterilized jar. With a wet, clean cloth, wipe the jars of any spilled jam, especially near the lid area.
  • Cover with the lids and screw them tightly.
  • Leave the jars at room temperature until the next day.
  • All lids should seal by the next day. Check for the seal, then deposit in your pantry.
