It is difficult to find a woman who would not like fresh flowers. The leading place among them is the rose. It is a beautiful flower with a wonderful scent. Did you know that you can not only admire roses and breathe in their wonderful aroma, but also make a delicious dessert from them - rose jam?
The benefits of rose jam
Rose petals make not only tasty, but also healthy jam.
* pink jam contains glucose, fructose, sucrose. These substances replenish energy and help to quickly remove the feeling of hunger;
* in addition, the composition of the jam contains flavonoids, which increase the permeability of the walls of blood vessels, making them more elastic, and therefore, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, as well as phenolic acids - they activate chemical processes in the body and improve metabolism;
* It is also important that rose petal jam contains various vitamins (groups B, PP, C, K) and pantothenic acid (or vitamin B5). It is this acid that slows down the aging process in the body.
It is because of such a rich composition that rose jam is indicated for various diseases. So, it is useful for people who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, circulatory system, heart. This jam is considered curative due to the action of rose petals essential oil. If you use rose jam regularly, you can improve kidney function, cleanse blood vessels, and increase immunity. It has a beneficial effect on stomatitis and sore throat. It helps to quickly get rid of depression and insomnia, which is very important in the autumn-winter period.
Note to the hostess
* you must take into account the fact that not all roses are suitable for use in cooking. You can cook jam only from a red or pink tea rose;
* make jam only from petals, and the right time to collect them is morning;
* the white part of the petal must be cut off, otherwise the taste of the jam will be too tart;
* rose petals are perfect with lemon or citric acid. Lemon will add a slightly perceptible sourness to rose jam.
Rose jam
I bring to your attention a fairly simple and easy recipe for rose jam. For him we need:
* rose petals - 200 g
* sugar - 150 g
Preparation
Rose petals must be thoroughly rinsed under running cold water. The best way to do this is by placing the petals in a colander. Next, leave them there for a while to allow excess liquid to glass. After that, we put the petals in an enamel bowl, fill them with sugar and grind them thoroughly until juice is formed. Then we spread the mass into prepared small jars, close tightly with lids and put in the refrigerator for storage.
Rose jam with lemon
Ingredients:
* rose petals - 500 g
* sugar - 1.5 kg
* lemon - 0.5 pcs.
* water - 1 glass
Preparation
Wash rose petals, chop finely and mix with part of sugar (500 g). Leave the petals and sugar in a saucepan for a couple of days. After two days, boil the syrup from the remaining sugar mixed with the juice of half one lemon. Add rose petals to hot syrup and boil the jam until tender. It is best to do this over low heat: the petals will boil well, and the jam will not burn.
Rose petal jam
We will need:
* rose petals - 300 pcs.
* sugar - 700 g
* water - 1 glass
* citric acid to taste
Preparation
Rinse the petals, prepare for cooking (cut off the white parts from each petal). Fold into an enamel container and cover with sugar (take only half of the required amount). Dissolve citric acid in a small amount of boiled water and add to the rose petals. Mix everything and put the resulting mass in a cold place for about 6 hours, so that the rose petals let out the juice and absorb citric acid.
Cook the syrup separately: pour the remaining sugar with water and put on low heat. To prevent the sugar from burning, the syrup must be constantly stirred. Bring it to a boil and pour over the rose petals. Then put the saucepan on low heat again and boil the jam.
Pour the prepared hot jam into prepared jars, close the lids, turn upside down, wrap and leave to cool completely. When it comes to storage, it is best stored in a cool place: in the refrigerator or cellar.
As you can see, the rose has a beneficial effect on the human body: it has an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, restorative effect. I think there are enough arguments for each housewife to find a place in her summer cottage for a bush of tea roses.
