Wild Rose Petal Jelly

On this week's Macaroni Meadows video we head out to collect some wild rose petals and rose hips. We dehydrate the rose hips for tea, make a rose petal smoothie and make wild rose petal jelly. Wild roses are packed full of vitamin C and are great for the immune system.

Wild Rose Smoothie Recipee:
2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt
1/2 cup of milk
2 cups of ice
1/4 cup of fresh mint
1/4 cup of rose petals
1 teaspoon of lime juice
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of honey

Wild Rose Petal Jelly Recipe:
2 1/2 cups of wild rose petals
2 cups of water
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of white grape juice
1/2 cup of red grape juice
1 package of powdered pectin

Place rose petals, water and 2/3 cup of sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand overnight.

Strain flowers from syrup, pour syrup in a pot. Add the grape juice, pectin and bring to a boil. Boil hard for 1 1/2 minutes and add the remaining sugar and stir. Bring the mixture back to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute, remove from heat.

Add jelly to sanitised jars and seal.
