Cooking method

Cooking time: 3 h

Salted flowers are thoroughly washed in running water. Then they tear off the petals from the peduncle. For jam, we only need petals. Pour water into a saucepan, add sugar and sakura petals. Cook over low heat until all the color from the petals goes into the water and the water turns yellow. In order to restore the pink color, add lemon juice to the liquid. Bring to a boil and turn off the fire.
Gelatin is mixed with one tablespoon of water and cherry liqueur, and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Pour the gelatin into a hot decoction of sakura petals and cool it. Then we put it in the refrigerator to freeze.
This jam can be added to tea, you can mix it with cherry jam and spread cookies. In any case, no matter how you eat this jam, it will always seem to you that cherry blossoms have begun somewhere near the window.
