[Sca-cooks] Rose petal syrup

[Sandra Jakl]

I made the below from the leftover roses from Saeraid
II Queen's Champion. 

On a tangent... We got quite a deal on roses. Try
globalrose.com for all your bulk rose needs. I also
used them (globalrose.com) for my wedding. Great
prices!! They are NOT organic, but for
cosmetic/decorative purposes, they're awesome.

I realize this is an oil, not a syrup, but it is
mildly pertinent information.

<101> Item also mach rosen öl. Nym iij lb. pawmöls vnd
j lb. rosen pleter vnd thue das in ein glaß oder in
einen hafen, der glesen sey, vnd mach das oben gancz
eben zu vnd henck das an die sunnen dreyssig tage vnd
darnach trück es durch ein tuch. Das o:el ist zumol
gut furr alle hicz, die dem menschen kumbt in der
kranckheyt, so man die wipron vnd die stirnn do mit
bestreicht, magstu nit gehaben pawmol, so nym gut
meyen putternn vnd ein vncz wachs, zu laß das
allererst vnd thue es dann zusammenn. Mann sagt, das
es pesser sej dann das erste. 

<101> Make rose oil thus. Take 3 pounds of olive oil
and 1 pound of rose petals and put that into a glass
or a pot made out of glass and close the top tightly
and hang it out in the sun for thirty days and then
pass it through a cloth. The oil is mainly good
against all kinds of heat that comes from sickness, if
you rub it over the brows and forehead. If you do not
have tree oil, take good may butter and an ounce of
wax and melt it first and then mix it. It is said that
the latter is better than the former.

advice and also info on canning it.
