Sugared Rose Petal Jam

An extraordinary jam for the most discerning home cooks! If you've read Reşat Nuri Güntekin's novel "Çalıkuşu," you'll surely remember one of the heroine's nicknames — Gülbeşeker. Translated, it means "rose petal jam." I can't bring myself to call this treat of the angels by the plain word "food." You can admire this rose jam, write poems about it, or simply eat it. The recipe itself is poetic, too. It calls for roses gathered early in the morning, while their petals are still beaded with dew. As we know, new buds open in the morning, which means we'll be picking only the freshest roses. We want red or pink flowers — or both.
