Sweet Rose Petal Jam
What it is
This is a sweet preserve made from the petals of fragrant roses. The petals are carefully prepared and cooked with sugar and sometimes a touch of lemon juice to create a spreadable jam. It has a distinct floral aroma and a delicate, sweet flavor that is less intense than fruit jams. The texture is typically smooth with small pieces of rose petal visible.
