Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh rose petals (petal-only), 1/2 cup fresh viburnum blossoms (stems removed), 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water. Stir gently to combine, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Step 2: Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency (test by dripping a small amount onto a cold plate—it should set in 30 seconds).
- Step 3: Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a sterilized jar, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
