A month or so ago, when my roses were in full bloom, I plucked what seemed like an awful lot of petals and set them aside to dry. My intention was to make this beautiful recipe<\/a>; the only problem was, I had no idea how many fresh petals I’d need to end up with the amount necessary to make the jelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my petals were fully dry, I weighed them and found I only had 0.5 ounces. I was a little dismayed until I realized I had a bag full of dried lemon balm from my garden that I’d stashed in my cupboard last summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I combined the two in this recipe, and the result was seriously spectacular. I only ended up with one cup of jelly- one incredibly intense cup of jelly- so I am doing my best to stretch it for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jelly is best made with fragrant rose petals intended for culinary use; be sure they’ve never been sprayed with chemicals and that they are clean and free of insects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I can’t speak to the medicinal quality of the finished jelly, it is worth noting that in herbal medicine, both rose petals and lemon balm are said to have calming properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
