Rose petal jam: how to prepare this exquisite dessert

Rose petal jam is a fairly common type of sweet preservation made in Ukraine. It has a very rich color, a pleasant aroma and, importantly, great taste.

Food blogger Lilia with the nickname lileklilek2 shared a recipe for exquisite tea rose petal jam, which you can easily make at home, on her Instagram page.

Ingredients:

• rose petals - 500 g
• sugar - 1.5 kg
• water - 250 ml
• citric acid - 0.5 tsp.

Method of preparation:

1. First, collect rose petals (it is better to do this in the morning), sort them carefully and weigh them.

2. Then mix water, sugar and citric acid in a saucepan. Put on the fire and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. When the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and add the petals to the syrup. Leave it like this until it cools completely. It takes about 6-10 hours.

4. After the allotted time has passed, repeat the boiling procedure 1-2 times. You just need to bring it to a boil and cool it completely each time.

5. At this stage, you can pour the jam into jars and roll up the lids. Enjoy!

The food blogger notes that rose petal jam has excellent taste and is very healthy, especially for colds.
