For the most intense flavor, use highly fragrant rose varieties like Damask or English roses. Ensure the roses are free from pesticides and other chemicals. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, but remember that sugar acts as a preservative. Sterilize your jars and lids properly to prevent spoilage. Follow canning guidelines for safe food preservation. If you don't have pectin, you can still make the jam, but it may have a softer set. Cook it longer until it reaches your desired consistency. You can test for 'set' by placing a small spoonful of hot jam on a chilled plate. It should wrinkle when pushed with your finger. Boiling water bath processing times may need to be adjusted based on altitude. Consult your local extension office for recommended times. Ensure the rose petals are free of moisture to prevent mold growth.
