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:
Place 1 cup of rose petals, 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a large saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the petals no longer have any color. Strain the mixture and return the liquid to the saucepan. Discard the rose petals.
Add 6 tablespoons of sugar and bring the rose honey to a boil over high heat.
Stir in 1 pouch of pectin and continue to boil for a minute, stirring constantly.
Pour the rose honey into a jar and leave to cool.
Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
