rose petals

Try a different take on blondies using pistachios, rose and white chocolate. Scatter with dried rose petals for a pretty finish, if you like

Pistachio, rose & white chocolate blondies

pistachios

white chocolate

unsalted butter

light brown soft sugar

eggs

½-1 tbsp rosewater

plain flour

white chocolate chips

rose petals, to decorate (optional)

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter and line a 20 x 20cm baking tin. Tip the pistachios into a pan and toast over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until aromatic, tossing occasionally so they don’t burn. Set aside.

Melt the chopped white chocolate and butter together, either in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Leave to cool slightly, then beat in the brown sugar with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the rosewater and ¼ tsp salt. Sieve in the flour and gently fold together.

Roughly chop the cooled pistachios, then add them to the blondie mix and fold in the white chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the lined baking tin.

Bake for 35-40 mins until set and golden brown, then leave to cool completely before slicing. To serve, scatter with dried rose petals, if you like.

Freda DeKnight introduced many signature dishes to Ebony magazine in the mid-20th century. One was her rose petal pudding, which was beloved by Ebony staffers and readers alike. Although its origin story is unclear, it’s likely that Ms. DeKnight, the magazine’s food editor and a frequent traveler, created the dessert from her research and willingness to incorporate international flavors into her cooking. This warm pudding provides a sweet taste of one of the most significant culinary periods in the nation. The rose icing is divine, and the aromatic pudding, which resembles bread pudding, is really lovely. The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup of rose water, which will give the pudding a very pronounced floral flavor, so you can choose an amount that is pleasing to you.

Ebony’s Rose Petal Pudding

unsalted butter, softened,

white bread, toasted and finely ground (about 3 cups)

granulated sugar

almond flour

baking powder

salt

mace

milk

lemon juice

rose water,

confectioners’ sugar

unsalted butter, melted

currant jelly raspberry jam

rose water

whole milk or cream, plus more as needed

rose petals,

Make the pudding: Butter a 7- to 8-cup heatproof pudding mold or other deep baking dish or bowl.

Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs, sugar, almonds, baking powder, salt, mace and rose petals in a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Using an electric hand mixer or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, mix the dry ingredients just to blend, about 10 seconds, then add the butter and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, lemon juice and rose water. Add to the bread mixture and beat until everything is evenly moistened, about 1 minute.

Spoon the pudding mixture into the prepared mold; it should come two-thirds up the sides of the mold. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, crimping it around the edges to seal.

Place the covered mold in a wide pot or Dutch oven large enough to fit it with space around and over it. Add enough water to the pot to meet the middle of the bowl. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Steam, replenishing with boiling water as needed so there’s always enough to reach the middle of the bowl, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover tightly with foil again if the pudding needs to continue steaming after you insert the skewer.

When the pudding is done, uncover the pot and let the pudding cool in the pot for about 5 minutes. Wearing oven mitts or protecting your hands with kitchen towels, grip the mold and transfer it to a heatproof work surface. If the pudding seems stuck to the mold, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the mold. Center a serving plate larger than the mold over the mold, then hold both tightly together and flip. The pudding should release onto the plate. If it hasn’t, tap the mold a few times, then lift off the mold. Let the pudding cool to warm. 

While the pudding cools slightly, make the icing: In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, butter, jelly, mace and rose water. Beat or whisk until smooth, then stir in the milk. If the icing is too thick to pour, add more milk by the tablespoon.

While the pudding is still warm, coat it with the icing. If you have any icing leftover, serve alongside the pudding. Decorate the pudding using the crystalized rose petals if you’d like. Serve warm.

Having a jar of this in your fridge is brilliant. My favourite way to eat it is with oily fish, such as mackerel or sardines. The rose petals are delicate and fragrant, and nicely balance the heat of the chillies. You can pretty much eat any garden rose, just make sure they haven't been sprayed with pesticides. If you can find some really wonderful-smelling roses, you’ll notice their fragrance will come through in the harissa.

A simple DIY for homemade rose extract using organic edible rose petals. This extract is perfect for using within baked goods, puddings, cocktails, other drinks, and even for home and beauty uses. Plus, the process only requires two &#039;ingredients&#039; and a super simple method!

How To Make Rose Extract

Organic Edible Rose Petals

vodka (or rum (70 Proof- 35%))

Wash the rose petals carefully to get off any critters and dirt. Then dry well.

Place the petals in a large sterilized glass jar and then pour the vodka over the petals, making sure to completely cover them in the liquid. Then close the jar and store in a dark, cool location, such as a cupboard, for 2-3 days.During this time, the flavor, smell, and even color will leech from the petals into the vodka.

Sieve the rose vodka mixture to remove the petals and then decant it into sterilized glass jars or even dropper bottles.

Just like vanilla extract, this pure rose extract can be stored at room temperature, in a dark cupboard.I&#039;m not sure exactly how long it will last, as I always run out before reaching that point. Though, due to the alcohol, the shelf life should be several months at-least.
