Instructions
Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest period approx. 2 days; Total time approx. 2 days 25 minutes
Own creation
Pluck and shake off the freshly collected petals, then place them in a bowl and pour over the water. Then add the lemon juice, cover the mixture, and let stand in a cool place for 2-3 days. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon if necessary. Now add the apple juice and let stand for another day. Pour the prepared mixture through a sieve and into a larger pot with the gelling sugar. Now bring the gelling sugar to a boil according to the instructions (4 minutes), then fill the prepared twist-off jars and seal immediately. If you like, you can add additional flowers for decoration, like I did. I used daisies. I also boiled some of the mixture with fresh strawberries and got a completely different version of the jelly, in terms of flavor.
