Roseleaf Jam

(A Greek recipe.) Gather the petals of fresh red roses, being sure that they are free from insects. Add an equal amount of sugar and only enough water to dissolve. Set in the sun under glass until the sugar is well melted, then cook it for 20 minutes, stirring well. Pour into jars and cork tightly. Served with coffee, to guests, who call in the afternoon.
