To prepare a delicious pink jam with a thick caramelized syrup you need to spend only 25 minutes. The recipe contains lemon juice, which gives the dessert special notes of freshness and maintains the brightness of the petals. According to the consistency, the prepared jam will resemble liquid honey, and to taste - an unearthly delicacy.

Necessary ingredients:

• petals of a tea rose - 1 glass
• water - 1 glass
• sugar - 3/4 cup
• lemon - 1/2 pcs.

Step-by-step instruction:

We gather the blossoming flowers and separate the petals. The lingering and withered petals are thrown away, using only juicy "living" flowers for jam.

On a note! Not all sorts of tea roses are suitable for making jam. The most delicious treat is obtained from varieties with petals of tender pink color.

Petals are washed and spread on a paper towel.

Let's start preparing the syrup. Pour water into the pan and pour out the whole sugar norm. The liquid is boiled until the sugar dissolves completely on a small fire.

In the finished syrup we throw flower petals and stir. We return the pan back to the fire and boil the jam for 10 minutes. Then pour in the juice, squeezed out of half a lemon, and cook the contents of the pan for 5 more minutes.

Attention! During the preparation of the jam, the fire should be kept to a minimum, so that the petals are not overdried.

We put the prepared jam into a sterilized jar and screw the lid. After cooling, this jam becomes more dense and fragrant. Keep it in a cool room or refrigerator.
