They are sitting on the desk my grandfather made. Lined up like little pink soldiers. Tiny medicine like jars of beautiful pink rose petal jelly. When opened, they smell like roses dipped in sugar and taste as intensely sweet as floral honey. I hope they make appreciated little holiday gifts.
Making them was a bit of a battle. First I found all of the jars at Cost Plus...that was actually the easy part. I used the recipe in one of my favorite new cookbooks, Chefs On The Farm. I filled up all of those adorable jars with what turned out to be a thick rose petal syrup. Not giving up, I emptied them all back into the pan, strained out the rose petals, added double the sugar and two packs of Certo. Now they are back into their jars with fresh rose petals and set up perfect.
Trouble is, they are perfect and there is no way I can exactly recreate what I did after all of that!
