CRYSTAL ROSE PETAL JAM
For the most fragrant and attractive jam use brightly colored tea roses, or any other fragrant roses. I am using light pink roses from my garden - although they do not make the most colorful jam, I am sure the roses are not sprayed. I am suggesting a small batch recipe for those, who, just like me, only have one or two rose bushes. The recipe can be doubled.

Tips:
- Choose the right rose petals. Not all rose petals are edible, so it's important to choose ones that are. Look for fragrant, pesticide-free petals that are free of blemishes. Damask roses, Centifolia roses, and Cabbage roses are all good choices for making rose petal jam.
- Prepare the rose petals properly. Before using the rose petals, remove the white bases of the petals. This will help to prevent the jam from becoming bitter.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to prevent the jam from scorching. A Dutch oven is a great option for making rose petal jam.
- Cook the jam slowly. Rose petal jam should be cooked slowly over low heat. This will help to preserve the delicate flavor and color of the petals.
- Stir the jam frequently. Stirring the jam frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. A wooden spoon is a good choice for stirring rose petal jam.
- Test the jam for doneness. The jam is done when it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency. To test the jam for doneness, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
- Store the jam properly. Once the jam is done, it can be stored in a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. The jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or in the freezer for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Rose petal jam is a delicious and unique way to enjoy the flavor of roses. It can be used as a spread on toast, crackers, or scones, or as a filling for pastries and pies. With its beautiful color and delicate flavor, rose petal jam is sure to impress your friends and family.
