Rose - Petal Jam

| What You Need: |
|
|
|
1 pound of the rose petals
¾ pint water
3½ pound sugar
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. When the roses are in full bloom, gather about 1 pound of the petals, pick out the large ones, and cut the white ends off with a pair of scissors.
|
2. Put the small ones and the white ends in a very clean stew pan with ¾ pint of water and scald them.
|
3. Pass the liquor through a piece of muslin or a sieve, squeeze the petals well and throw them away, then put the liquor in the pan with 3½ pound white sugar, and stir them with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
|
4. Then add the large petals that you have picked out, stir and boil till rather thick.
|
5. Try a little on a plate. If it sets, then remove it from the fire.
|
6. When cold, fill the preserve jars, cover them in the usual way, and keep them in a rather cool place.
