Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh red rose petals (organic, pesticide-free)
- 500 grams sugar
- 500 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 50 milliliters liquid pectin
Directions
Step 1
1. Rinse the rose petals gently under cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
2. In a large bowl, toss the rose petals with 100 grams of sugar. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the petals to soften and release their fragrance.
Step 3
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and remaining sugar (400 grams). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Step 4
4. Add the sugared rose petals to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 5
5. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cook for another 5 minutes. The lemon juice will help to preserve the conserve’s vibrant color.
Step 6
6. Add the liquid pectin to the saucepan and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Step 7
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the conserve cool for a few minutes. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
Step 8
8. Pour the hot rose petal conserve into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
Step 9
9. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
Step 10
10. Serve the conserve as a luxurious spread for bread, pastries, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy the taste of roses in every bite!
