I live in Churchill an area of the La Trobe Valley which is a part of the greater Gippsland region of Victoria.
If you grow roses in your garden you well know you are on the last flush of the season , so it is time to harvest your fragrant red rose petals .
I am fortunate to have over 150 rose bushes in my garden so I have to collect 50 fully opened perfumed red rose heads ...( Roses ...Samanatha , Black Beauty , Mr Lincoln ,Red Cedar )
Bring to the boil 1 litre of water and 1.5 kilo of sugar and the juice of 1. lemon .. Stir till the mix thickens a little then add the rose petals .
Add a pat of butter to clear the scum , then simmer over a low heat for an hour .
Stir to prevent the jam from turning brown .
Turn off the heat and pour into jars , seal when the mixture cools.
