  Petal jam
  I think everyone knows that you can make jam from rose petals. But not many people know that peonies are suitable for this. Peony, like a rose, has a rich aroma and a pleasant tartness. In addition, its petals contain many useful substances, they are rich in phytoncides, and therefore are very effective for colds, flu and sore throat.

Making jam from petals is not difficult, the cooking technology is almost the same as for making jam from rose petals, only less sugar is required. It is better to take red petals of peonies, since there are fewer useful substances in whites.

For 200 g of petals take a pound of sugar and a few grams of citric acid (3-5 g), and preferably the juice of one lemon.

Petals pour cold water and bring to a boil. Gradually add sugar, stirring constantly, until it is completely dissolved. At the end add citric acid.
  Fragrant jam is ready. Bon appetit and good health!
