Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 40 grams (1.4 ounces) nasturtium flowers
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 ounces homemade pectin

Method

  • Step 1

    Place nasturtium flowers in warm water and let them infuse overnight. This step extracts the flavors and beneficial compounds from the flowers.

  • Step 2

    The next day, strain the flowers out and dissolve the granulated sugar into the infused water.

  • Step 3

    Add the homemade pectin to the mixture and bring it to a boil. Be careful not to over-boil, as it can affect the gelling properties of the pectin.

  • Step 4

    Pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars and allow it to cool. As it cools, the jelly will thicken, forming a perfect consistency.
