Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh organic rose petals
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Pectin (optional, for thicker jam)
Instructions
1. Gently rinse the rose petals under cold water to remove dirt or insects, then pat them dry using paper towels.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rose petals and 1 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan, along with the remaining 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Stir in the lemon juice, which will help preserve the vibrant color of the petals.
5. Optional: If a thicker consistency is desired, dissolve the pectin in a small amount of warm water and add it to the saucepan during this step.
6. Continue simmering the mixture for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The liquid should thicken slightly and the rose petals will become tender and translucent.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool for 5 minutes.
8. Carefully transfer the jam to sterilized glass jars. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids. Allow the jars to cool completely before refrigerating.
9. Store the rose petal jam in the refrigerator and use within 2–3 weeks. Enjoy!
