How to make tea rose and strawberry jam

Before we start cooking, let's prepare the ingredients for our preparation. We will need to place the strawberries in a colander and rinse them under running cold water.

Then, we tear off the tails of the strawberries, simultaneously discarding crushed berries, if any.

We will make jam from ripe and whole strawberries.

Place the strawberries in a large bowl and add half of the sugar called for in the recipe. In my case it is 300 gr.

Let the strawberries stand for a couple of hours at room temperature so that the berries release their juice.

In the meantime, we'll work on the rose petals. If you purchased a rose at the market, it is advisable to wash the petals. I picked a rose for jam at my dacha and limited myself to carefully sorting through the petals to remove the slightly wilted ones.

Now, we need to prepare sugar syrup. Pour water into the saucepan and pour in the remaining 300 grams. granulated sugar. Place the saucepan on the fire and bring the syrup to a boil, stirring it constantly with a spoon.

After this, pour the syrup over the sorted tea rose petals and leave them to steep for two hours.

Combine strawberries that have released their juice with rose petals in syrup and add citric acid.

Bring everything together to a boil, skim off the foam, cover the jam with a lid and leave it to steep for four hours.

After this, you need to boil the jam again and let it brew for another three to four hours.

The third time we bring our preparation to a boil, reduce the heat to low and, stirring with a spoon, cook for ten minutes.

Prepack the jam in advance prepared glass jars and seal with lids.

The jam made from strawberries and tea rose petals turned out to be a very beautiful bright crimson color.

Our jam has a unique delicate aroma and a very delicate taste. And, since tea rose is a natural antibiotic, our jam is not only tasty, but also healthy for the body.

To prevent colds every day, it is enough to eat a few spoons of aromatic and amazingly tasty jam made from tea rose petals and strawberries.
