But the scent of this jelly doesn't last forever, it's one to be eaten quickly. If you want to give some as a Christmas present, it might be better to make rose petal jam. How lucky your friends and family are! Hope it goes well<br /><br />JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-33742857330236003642010-08-28T19:44:16.444+01:002010-08-28T19:44:16.444+01:00How well does is do on shelf life.

I am so envious of people with citrus trees in their gardens - I have little houseplant citruses in my house, but it's not the same, the fruit is only the size of a thumbnail.

I had such fun making and photographing it, especially since the weather was so foul (!)<BR/><BR/>I'd never tasted it until yesterday, but I love it, it tastes just like the rose "perfume" we used to make as children. Or, as you say Kathryn, like Turkish Delight.<BR/><BR/>The magic with the lemon juice (and it really does seem like magic, I watched the lemon swirl through the bowl, changing the colour instantly as it went) - I think that must be because of the acid in the lemon juice, but I'd love someone to explain it to me properly.<BR/><BR/>Amanda, if your petals have gone by now, you need a few repeat flowering roses. The English roses developed by David Austen are all scented, and all repeat to a greater or lesser extent. Years ago I went to his nursery in late July, so that I wouldn't be tempted by any plants that didn't repeat (although I have since planted a few). So I always have roses through the summer, and sometimes the last one can be picked on Christmas Day. But it's fair to say that at this time of year they look more lush picked!<BR/><BR/>Kathryn, what were the petals like in the jam you bought? I have a feeling they'd be claggy. <BR/><BR/>I took Claudia Roden's Arabesque to bed last night, but it wasn't at all helpful: the only recipe suggested using rose petal jam on scones - but no recipe for the jam. I'll keep you posted with my experiments.<BR/><BR/>JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-56569545629175866842007-07-27T03:58:00.000+01:002007-07-27T03:58:00.000+01:00Beautiful!
