Most of the rose petal jam is imported from Syria. You must use a very low flame and cook over an asbestos mat. This recipe came from Beirut, Syria. Use fragrant roses. Cut the rose petals in quarter-inch strips, discarding the tough base. In measuring, pack them tightly in the cup but do not bruise. Cover 2 cups of cut petals with 2 cups warm water and cook ten minutes or until tender. Lift out petals; make a syrup with one cup of the rose petal liquid, two and 2|3 cups sugar and 2 tablespoons strained honey. Cook to the syrup stage or to 220 deg. F. by candy thermometer. Add the drained petals and cook on an extremely low flame for 40 minutes. Add one teaspoon lemon juice and simmer 30 minutes longer. Heighten the jam color with a tiny bit of rose food coloring, if liked. Pour in sterile jars and seal at once.
