  • 250 g sugar

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 300 ml water
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin

  • Remove the petals from the flowers, rinse in water to remove any remaining salt, and place the petals in a pot. Add the sugar, 300ml of water, salt and honey. Set to low heat and bring to a simmer. Scoop off any scum from the surface if necessary.
  • Once the liquid has reduced by half, add the lemon juice and continue reducing the liquid. Once the jam has thickened, add 300ml of water. Bring the jam to a boil then remove from heat.
  • Add the gelatin to the 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and allow the gelatin to soften. Then add the gelatin mixture to the jam mixture and combine.
  • Place the bottom of the pot in cold water and whisk the jam to allow it to cool. Pour the jam into a sterilized jar, screw the lid on top, and place it in the fridge for the gelatin to set the jam.
