About Pectin...
Getting StartedGet two pint-sized jars or four smaller jars ready by washing them thoroughly and filling them with boiling water until you are ready to use them. That will ensure that no bacteria gets into your rose petal jam. The jam is going into the freezer, but it is always better to be safe than sorry.Next, put your rose petals, 3/4 cup of water, lemon juice and crystallized ginger in a food processor. Puree everything until it is well blended. Then turn on the processor again and slowly add the sugar. Prepare the PectinIn a small saucepan, stir the pectin into that second 3/4 cup of water. Bring it to a boil and boil it for one full minute, stirring constantly.Putting It All TogetherTurn the processor on again and quickly add the pectin mixture. This jam will set up pretty quickly so be sure and have your clean jars ready.Once your rose petal jam has set up, keep in the freezer for up to six months.
