1 quart fragrant rose petals, tightly packed (pesticide free)
3 cups water
1 package Sure-Jell
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Red food colouring (optional)
4 cups sugar

Heat the petals and water to boiling. Steep for 20 minutes, pushing petals into the liquid occasionally. Strain and reserve petals. Measure liquid and water to make 3 cups. Mix liquid with Sure-Jell, lemon juice and a few drops of red food colouring if desired. In a large, stainless-steel pot, bring the mixture to a boil over hight heat. Add the sugar, bring to a hard, rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and stir in reserved rose petals. Stir for a few minutes to prevent petals from floating. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
