How to remove the astringency of rose jam?

In daily life, many people like to eat sweet rose jam. When roses are in full bloom, some people like to make rose jam at home. However, the rose jam they make themselves tastes astringent and is not as good as the ones sold outside. So what should we do if the rose jam tastes astringent? How can we remove the astringency of rose jam?

What to do if rose jam is astringent

1. If the rose jam is astringent, you can add a proper amount of edible salt during the production process. Edible salt has certain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal components, and can make the astringency of roses lighter, making the rose jam taste better after it is made. However, the amount of edible salt should not be too much. Only 2 to 3 grams of edible salt is needed for every 100 grams of rose petals. Adding too much will also affect the taste of the rose jam.

2. If the rose jam is astringent, you can add appropriate amount of sugar or honey to flavor it. Because sugar and honey are both sweet ingredients, they can cover up the astringency of the rose jam and make the rose jam taste sweet. However, you cannot add honey when boiling the rose jam, otherwise the nutrients of honey will be lost. It is best to add honey after the rose jam is made.
