~ Rose Petal Jam ~
She hadn't been back home, not since the world wars' end
She didn't know what she would find, what lay beyond the bend
She had run from here in fear, in fear for her life
Left her family, home and kindred, escaping in the night
God had her bound for England, to wed a lover there.
Now years later they'd come back, for her origins he cared
So, here they were manoeuvring, along this winding track
When suddenly she cried out. Stop, please stop and go right back
With joy, she scrambled from the car and bounded through the trees
He followed close behind and found her on her knees
Her hands were cradling roses, roses fragrant, sweet
Her lips were whispering - roses- petals falling at her feet
Oh darl', she murmured softly, the roses are still here
The roses of my childhood, memories so dear
I would pick them in the summer and take them in for Ma
For her to make rose petal jam... Oh, the cottage can't be far
But, if it's gone, we'll return, to where my heart once sang
Here, safe among God's roses
We picked for Mama's jam.

'Twas a touch of fragrant roses, kept in a pretty jar...
So we could savour summer
Made by our dearest Ma

Memories of rose petal jam
Even I can remember myself
dipping my crusty bread into this jam
and watching soaking it
and turn into some kind of jewel
just made up for me...

Making rose petal Jam
The flavor of roses, is distinct
and immediately recognizable,
and rose petal jam looks as wonderful as it tastes.

and immediately recognizable,
and rose petal jam looks as wonderful as it tastes.
- 1/2 pound pink or red or white (they are all edible) rose petals
- 2 cups sugar,
- 4 1/2 cups water
- Juice of 2 lemons, seeds removed
Fragrant red and pink old-fashioned double roses
(rugosas, floribundas, Old English, damask, and so on)
make the tastiest jam.
Pick roses in the late morning, after the dew has dried,
and before the sun has reached its height.
Grasp the entire flower by the tips of the petals
and pull it completely off its base.
Using scissors, trim off the white section at the base of the petals.
(Doing this immediately allows you to trim
a whole flower's worth of petals all at once.)
