Rose Petal Jelly image

Rose jelly is sweet and floral, and is lovely on buttered bread. Make it with roses you grow yourself to be sure they're chemical free. You will need liquid pectin (to thicken the jelly) and rose water for flavor. These are available in most supermarkets.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of floral flavors, but I was pleasantly surprised! The rose petals added a subtle sweetness to the jelly that I really enjoyed.
