Homemade Rose Petal Jam

Recipe Description

I am so happy to share my Rose Petal Jam recipe with you today! The roses have started to bloom and one way to make the flowers last longer is to cut them so that new ones can appear. What to do with all the cut flowers though? Well, you could make this rose petal jam for starters!

To make this jam couldn’t be easier. Start by bringing petals and water to a gentle simmer before adding sugar. Once the sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and observe the beautiful color that emerges. Simmer for 20 minutes before transferring to jars. This keeps for 2 months in the refrigerator. It will have a thick syrup-like consistency when it sets.

To make Rose Petal Jam, you will need the following ingredients:

Making the rose petal jam was a delightful experience. I picked roses from my garden, and the smell filled the kitchen. Canning it brought back memories of my grandmother, who made the best jams. This recipe is a gem!

In reply to Rachel Fauteux:

Dear Rachel Fauteux, thank you for the question. Unfortunately, our chef Dasha has not ever used the Malus Sylvestris Forest Apple for the pectin part. You can even skip this ingredient if you want. And the jam will turn out just as flavorful and delicious without it.
