In India it is known as Gulkand. This jam is easy to make. The recommended rose is Damascus rose https://i.pinimg.com/originals/af/85/8b/af858bd6e315b84509ab40f7117fe03f.jpg
The petals are gently removed and washed. They are weighed and equal quantity of sugar is used. The petals are packed in a clean glass bottle layer by layer. Each layer of petals will have a layer of sugar.
The bottle is then kept in the sun for ten days Jame is ready for use.
It is kept in the refrigerator and the jam remains fresh for six months.

Rose petals jam is very popular here too. We are quite proud of our rose produce, haha.
I have only read abaout it. I have not tasted it so far. We do not have roses that can be used for making this.
It is very flavourful, but the taste is not very impressive – just sweet.
Here it is used as an ingredient for making other sweet dishes.
This is the first time that I’ve heard of rose petals being made into something edible.

I have heard of this jam but have never tried it, It looks very good.
I too have not tasted it but have heard a lot about it.
Interesting jam. I hear it for the first time.
It seems an easy recipe and therefore wonder why it is not wellknown
It’s not something that I would try. (Shared your post on 3 different social media sites)

I make the rose jam by boiling the petals in sugar syrup. I have to try this method! It looks great!
I think here the rose petals may not lose their original scent.
