Rose Petal Jam

                                                                                                                                                                                 
I haven't been around for long as I have been rather busy for so many things.As a start after a long time I want to share my Rose Petal jam recipie.You can only make this jam with pink,scented roses,and they have to be cabbage roses or centifolias.You pick the petals from six fully opened roses,all opened on the same day.Remove any  bits of stamen,then wash the petals in a large bowl of water until clean .Drain well and  shake in a sieve.Mix together 5 tablespoonsful of caster sugar.
The juice of half a  lemon.
1 crystal of lemon salts(the size of a pea) the rose petals.And squeeze it all into a paste,which you put it into a sealed jar.Store this paste in the fridge (it will keep for months.)
When you are ready to make jam,You start boiling 31%2 glasses of water and 3 glasses of  sugar.Boil until it is  a thick syrup.Test dropping a little on a saucer.Whe it doesn't run ,it is ready.Add the rose mixture from the jar.Stir for or five minutes while the mixture boiling.When it foams and hisses,it is ready.Turn off the heat .Allow to cool for a five minutes then put into glass jars.Seal when cool.Enjoy,may it do you good.
I will tell you how  I make YOĞURT at home.
