1 quart wild rose petals (make sure they are pesticide free)
2¼ c. apple juice
3½ c. sugar
1 to 2 drops of food coloring, optional
3 oz. liquid fruit pectin
Preparation:
Place ingredients in a 6-quart saucepan. Boil 15 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Two cups of rose/apple juice should remain. Pour juice back into the saucepan. Careful, juice is hot. Add sugar and food coloring. Mix well. Bring to rolling boil, stirring constantly. While stirring, add liquid fruit pectin. Boil 1 minute longer (keep stirring). Remove from heat and skim the residue from the top. Pour into sterile jelly jars. Seal with paraffin.
