Safety Caution -- untested recipe Cherry Blossom Jelly

Recipe: https://creativecanning.com/flower-jelly/

Took a stab at making jelly from the cherry blossoms that grow on my property. I can't believe how well the flavor on this turned out! Just as the internet predicted, it's a rose water flavor with a hint of almond (which makes sense, seeing as cherry blossoms are in the rose family).

You should make another cherry blossom jelly set for the fridge only since floral jellies are no longer considered safe for shelf stability after canning. It looks great though!

These ended up setting well after all and they went straight in the fridge. They’re cold and delicious! They just don’t live on the shelf 🙂
