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.

Making this jam reminds me of my grandma's garden; lovely and so easy to create!
Super tasty and easy jam!
Absolutely loved it.
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!
Making this jam was simple and rewarding. My wife loved it.
I made this Rose Petal Jam with my kids after cutting flowers from our garden. It's so simple and turned out great. The color is amazing and we loved it on toast.
OMG, this rose petal jam is a total game changer! Made it with my wedding flowers, and it brought back all the feels. So delish and super easy to whip up!
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.
