ROSE JAM RECIPE

Rose petal jam is a fragrant and elegant homemade ingredient to have on hand to elevate breakfast, brunch, or even dessert dishes. Once you have a jar of rose petal jam in your refrigerator, it can be used in a variety of ways.

Rose petals are edible, however, it is important to remember that the best edible flowers are blossoms from your own garden to avoid pesticides and other chemicals. It is also possible to find edible flowers in the produce section of some supermarkets or farmers markets, at local herb gardens and at some restaurant or produce suppliers. Do not use flowers from florist shops since they are usually treated with chemicals.

Serve rose jam on toast, a biscuit, or waffle. Rose jam can also be swirled into yogurt or oatmeal, and it is an elegant dessert when spooned over vanilla ice cream.
