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)
Directions
Step 1
1. Gently rinse the rose petals under cold water to remove dirt or insects, then pat them dry using paper towels.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
3. Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan, along with the remaining 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
4. Stir in the lemon juice, which will help preserve the vibrant color of the petals.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
9. Store the rose petal jam in the refrigerator and use within 2–3 weeks. Enjoy!
