Strawberry-Rose Petal Jam 🍓 | Small Batch Recipe | Refrigerator Jam

This is a small batch recipe with no canning needed. This strawberry-rose petal jam will yield 1 pint jar which can go straight into your fridge.
STRAWBERRY-ROSE PETAL JAM
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup rose petals
Begin by sterilizing a jar for you jam by boiling it for 15 minutes.
Place the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium sized pot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, keeping it at a light boil for 20-30 minutes, stirring often.
The jam will foam up quite a bit in the beginning (watch it doesn’t boil over), but will settle down and thicken. Once you think it might be done, do the plate test by dropping a spoonful of jam onto a cold plate to see if it gels up. Alternatively you could use a candy thermometer- it needs to reach 220 degrees F.
Once the jam is finished, remove from heat. Stir in the rose petals. Pour into your sterilized jar and allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

I've made jam quite often in my youth but never added rose petals. Do the petals add a new flavor to the strawberries? It looks very inviting. Enjoying your rhythm of life very much. Enjoy your day. Joan

Hi Joan! 😀 You know, I wish that they added a new flavour, but in all honesty, it still tastes like strawberry jam. This was my first time making this. But if I did it again, I might add some rose water (the kind you can find in the middle eastern section at a grocery store) to it to add that flavour. But it does look so beautiful spread on a piece of toast in the morning. It adds a special romantic touch! I have been really enjoying it. ❤️
