Guides often tell us that classics have always loved exotics. For example, Mikhail Bulgakov. There is an opinion that he welcomed very much jam from pink petals. In addition, his mother cooked a life-giving drink. Let’s talk about what’s going on, Editorial. "Site" prepared.

As it turned out, harvest for the winter can not only seasonal vegetables and fruits, but also petals. After all, do we get grass and all that? So why not put a beautiful pink fluid in a jar of confiture? And we think so. So here we have a couple of simple recipes, what and how to make tea rose petals. We do everything Bulgakov!



Tea Rose Jam Ingredients
  • 1kg tea rose petals
  • 1 kg of sugar
  • 100ml lemon juice


The funniest thing about this whole thing is finding a kilogram of petals. Suppose you have a flower garden in your yard. If you try, you can collect. It is important to remember that the petals should be dry and open. Because of the water, jam can be more liquid and have less storage time. So consider this before cooking.



Preparing "pink" confits
  1. The hardest part about this whole thing is rubbing the sugar petals by hand. Why is that? If you break a blender, they will overheat, and therefore lose their taste properties. Therefore, in a chilled mortar or in small batches in a blender, but not for long.
  2. Before you put the jam in jars, mix it with lemon juice (100 ml) as carefully as possible. Lemon juice in this case acts as a preservative and stabilizer. Cans and covers should be well sterilized.
  3. Put the confits in the jars and close the lids tightly. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator, storage time is 1 year. Therefore, we recommend to sign banks and put actual numbers on them.





If there is not enough space in the refrigerator and it is not possible to store confits in it, then you need to add more sugar. For a kilogram of petals take one and a half kilograms of sweet sand. Then you can store it in the storeroom, but sunlight I didn't. Cooking petals, of course, can not. They will instantly lose their flavor, color and taste. That's it!

Strong tincture of rose petals Here it is difficult to determine the weight, so we will focus on the volume. Since the tincture is prepared in a three-liter jar, then the whole guide to it.

You'll need it.

  2. Pour the liquid into a separate container through gauze (or sieve) to separate the petals. The gauze is needed to squeeze the petals. If through a sieve, you can press for a while.
  3. Add everything to the syrup, which is prepared in the proportion of 300 g of sugar per 1 liter of water. The consistency should resemble not too thick kefir. Pour the resulting glass bottles and put in a cool place. They will be available only in two months.
