Mr. Lincoln and Cecile Brunner in a Jam

Rose petal jam can be made with any organically grown unsprayed fragrant roses. I used the Cecile Brunner which made a pale pink jam. My neighbor spiced things up, so to speak, by adding a few Mr. Lincoln petals for a richer, dark pink color.

Step: 1

In food processor or blender, process rose petals, lemon juice and 3/4 cup water. Slowly add sugar until thoroughly blended. Pour mixture into large bowl (a large mixing bowl with pouring spout is ideal). Set aside.

Step: 2

Combine pectin and 3/4 cup water in small saucepan. Stir to dissolve and bring to a boil. Allow pectin to boil hard for one minute.

Step: 3

Pour pectin over the rose petal mixture and stir. This will start to set very quickly. Spoon or pour mixture into clean containers and refrigerate. It will continue to set as it cools.

One of most clear way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
