If you want a spread that offers flavor, color, style, and plenty of compliments, rose petal jelly is the one that covers it all.
First, gather roses that are fully bloomed but not wilted to ensure the flowers have not already lost their fragrance, which is the main feature of this jelly.
Choose roses that are, if possible, red or pink, fragrant, and fleshy.
Remove the petals by detaching the base and crush them in a mortar along with anise seeds.
Then put the resulting mixture in a blender, add half of the sugar, and blend until you get a pulverized mixture of sugar and petals.
Pour everything into a stainless steel pot, add the remaining sugar, lemon juice, rose water, water, and bring to a boil.
Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally and skimming if necessary, for 25-30 minutes or until a drop of the mixture, dropped on a plate, remains firm.
Finally, pour the jelly into jars while still hot, seal tightly, and store in a cool place until use.
Consume after at least a month.
