Rose Petal Honey

Recipe Description

Not many people think of roses as an edible treat, but I love the subtle flavor of rose petals in this Rose Petal Honey. To make this honey, you will only need 5 ingredients – rose petals, water, lemon juice, sugar and pectin.

Start by combining rose petals, water and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Once the petals lose their color, strain the mixture and reserve the liquid. Discard the petals and stir in sugar to the liquid. Bring to a boil and stir in pectin. Pour into a jar and cool to room temperature before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

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