Categories: Russian, Christmas
Servings: 10

2 c Rose Petals
4 c Sugar
Juice Of One Lemon
2 tb Rum

Pick the petals over, removing any debris, leaves, stamens or insects.
Coarsely chop 1 cup of petals in a processor then add 1 cup of sugar and
half of the lemon juice, 1 Tb of rum, and another cup of sugar. Mix for a
minute, scraping the sides of the processor bowl. Repeat with the rest of
the petals and other ingredients. Pack into small jars (about 1 cup),
rapping lightly to release air bubbles. Cover and keep in a cool place.

NOTE:

This will last up to a year. It is used sparingly, so small jars are
practical.
