The rose also offers a soothing property to the nerves and emotional/psychological state of mind, nervous tension and heart disease. Rose hips are great source of vitamins C, D, A and E.

Ingredients

  • 600 grams of white caster sugar
  • 200 grams of rose petals, preferably red or dark pink with a strong perfume
  • 2 cups water
  • The juice of one lemon

Method

Step 1

First thing first, we have to wash our roses properly to remove bugs, and then cut off the white bottom of each petal.

Step 2

Place the rose petals into a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them to make sure that each petal is coated. Leave the bowl in a cool spot – refrigerator overnight or for a few hours to allow the scent of the rose petals to infuse into the sugar.

Step 3

Place the remaining sugar into a saucepan with the water and lemon juice and heat the contents gently, stirring all the time. Before the mixture reaches boiling point, add the rose petal and sugar mixture and keep stirring while keeping the liquid to a steady simmer for around 20 minutes.

Step 4

Allow to boil until the syrup thickens and the petals no longer float for around 5 minutes.

Step 5

While still hot, place the jam in clean, sterilised jam jars and allow to cool.
