Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups of filtered water
  • 2 cups wild rose petals or ⅔ cups dried rose petals
  • ⅔ cups strawberries or raspberries
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 lemons zested and zest
  • 1 1.75 ounce packet of pectin

Instructions

  • Carefully pluck the individual petals from the rose bloom. Source your wild roses responsibly. Don't use roses from highly contaminated areas such roadways, chemically treated lawns, or areas with animals

    Gently mist your rose petals to clean them, because careful not to bruise them. I like to mist them with some water, place them on a towel, and gently place a paper towel on top of them for absorption
  • Place water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer
  • Add your fruit, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and rose petals, and let them simmer for ten minutes
  • Continue to simmer over low heat for five minutes to let the sugar dissolve
  • Add in your pectin and stir to incorporate the pectin into all of the ingredients
  • Reduce heat to lowest setting and continue to let jam simmer for additional thirty minutes, stirring regularly
  • Remove from heat and transfer to jar of choice

Notes

  • If you don't have access to wild rose you can use any organic rose petals or ⅔ cup dried organic rose petals
  • This recipe works well with other large petal edible flowers
You can substitute the recommended fruit with anything else you'd like: cherries, peaches, blueberries, mango.
Shelf life: For non canned jam: enjoy within one month from a sealed container stored in your refrigerator or two months in the freezer. For canned jam: Sealed jars can be stored in the pantry for one - two years.
