Check rose for flavor

Pick roses to make about 2 cups of petals. Clean petals by swishing in cold water. Watch out for small insects. Add to one cup of water, one cup of sugar, jelling agent and juice of one lemon. Cook for about 20 minutes and chill.

Rose jam with cheese. Also nice with yogurt. The rose petals are chewy in the jelly.
