If I were to do it, I would use the fresh buds to flavor some other jam, probably something very mild such as apple or, depending on how that turned out, even raspberry. <br />I'm still trying to figure out how to use rose-geranium leaves for flavoring. So far, what I've noticed is that when complete leaves are used, the resulting flavor is too concentrated near the leaf and not too noticeable otherwise. Chopping up the leaf for better dispersal would make straining necessary – those leaves are not pleasant in the mouth. Next I think I'll try steeping them in some of the liquid used in the preparation...to be continued.McWorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259286760419004721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260848875272495610.post-78294026659357174032010-08-28T19:41:53.221-04:002010-08-28T19:41:53.221-04:00This reminds me to plant moss roses again.

I think I used these for rose jam one year.Matt Mattushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304130532778622628noreply@blogger.com
