Prepare red rose petals by washing thoroughly and cutting off white part to eliminate bitterness.

Prepare by boiling sugar, water, light corn syrup, lemon juice and red rose petals. Mixture is cooked when slightly thickened. Remove from heat. When cooled slightly, strain and store in fridge for up to three weeks.

Rose flavor can be enhanced by replacing 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup rosewater.
