Sunrise Shrub Rose
Tis the last roses of summer. The iris, magnolias, peonies, daffodils, and tulips are all long gone, but the roses are blooming with color in our yard.

ROSE PETAL TEA
Makes 1 quart. This tea has more character than most herb teas, with the flavor of roses with hints of nutmeg and orange. Brew fragrant, deep pink petals for a fine flavor and a lovely dark pink color.
1/2 cup tightly packed rose petals
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 orange, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 quart water
hot or cold.
Place rose petals, nutmeg, sugar, and chopped orange into a pitcher. Pour boiling water over petals and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and Serve.

ROSE PETAL JELLY
The flavor of roses is pronounced yet delicate in this wonderful jelly. Use dark red petals for a clear, bright red color.
4 qts rose petals (16 cups)
2 qts water (8 cups)
7 cups sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 ounces liquid pectin
food coloring (optional)
Boil rose petals and water together for 10 to 20 minutes, or until about half the liquid has boiled off. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the rose petals to extract as much liquid as possible. Measure 3 cups of liquid, add sugar, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. (You may discard the remaining liquid.) Add lemon juice and pectin, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add food coloring, if desired, and pout into sterilized jars, filling to 1/8 inch of the top. Seal with paraffin, or use vacuum lids. If using vacuum lids, cover immediately with flat lids, and screw tips on tightly. Turn upside down for 5 minutes, then turn right side up. After 1 hour, check that seals appear intact.
