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:
Bring 1½ cups filtered water and 2 ounces of rose petals to a simmer in a saucepan over medium high heat for 2 minutes.
Add 1¾ cups of the sugar to the simmering mixture. Stir to dissolve the sugar crystals.
Add 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Mix the remaining ¼ cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of fruit pectin in a bowl. Incorporate with the jam while stirring to insure the pectin gets incorporated without clumping.
Continue to simmer the jam for about 20 minutes until it resembles a silky syrup with petals floating in it.
Spoon the jam into 3 (6 oz) jars using a ladle.
This jam tastes great on freshly baked bread or scones.
This Rose Petal Jam is a really special and pretty jam recipe! Try it soon and leave a comment to let me know what you think of the peachy goodness!
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.
Wonderful recipe and very rare too this is something ive never heard of until now.
Why no brands in the ingridents? what kind of sugar and where do i get the rose petals from?
Natural and delicious rose petal jam very pleased with how tasty this turned out.
I remember when my grandma used to make this and now i know how too couldnt be happier.
The smell is heavenly!! not sure how long it last but so far so good after a day.
Will be making this a lot more often, never knew how easy it was to make jam thanks for sharing it with me.
