Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh red rose petals (organic, pesticide-free)
- 500 grams sugar
- 500 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 50 milliliters liquid pectin
Instructions
1. Rinse the rose petals gently under cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large bowl, toss the rose petals with 100 grams of sugar. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the petals to soften and release their fragrance.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and remaining sugar (400 grams). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
4. Add the sugared rose petals to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cook for another 5 minutes. The lemon juice will help to preserve the conserve’s vibrant color.
6. Add the liquid pectin to the saucepan and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the conserve cool for a few minutes. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
8. Pour the hot rose petal conserve into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
9. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
10. Serve the conserve as a luxurious spread for bread, pastries, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy the taste of roses in every bite!
