Rose Jam (Gül Reçeli)



350 g red rose petals * 6 cups sugar * 2 1/2 cups water * 2 tbsp lemon juice

Wash the petals and place them in a pan with the sugar and lemon juice. Let it rest like this for 30 minutes. Add the water and cook for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into jars and store in the refrigerator.

Note: To check if the consistency of the jam is at the ideal point, try placing a spoonful of jam in a glass of water. If the jam does not dissolve in the water, it is ready. If, on the contrary, it dissolves, it needs to cook a little longer.
