Here is a modern Middle Eastern rose petal sorbet
recipe:

Sharbatee Gulab

5 cups fresh rose petals
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 cups crushed fresh or frozen pineapple
1 tbsp rosewater
Crystalized rose petals for garnish

Soak rose petals in 1 quart cold water overnight in
refrigerator.  Drain well and discard petals.  Make a
syrup of the rosewater and sugar by boiling them
together for 5-7 min. Cool, then add lemon juice,
pineapple and the rose liquid.  Freeze in trays
covered with foil until thick.  Stir well and refreeze
to sorbet consistency or freeze in an ice cream
freezer.  Serve garnished with crystalized rose
petals.  Makes about 2 1/2 quarts.
