wandering teacher of the bizarre and unusual
A surprisingly refreshing and delicious cold soup.
Ingredients:
1 red or pink fragrant rose flower 1 pint cold water
8 ounces dry white wine Pinch of powdered cinnamon
1 16 oz. can pitted sweet cherries, drained 2 ounces of Kirsch
1/2 pint of sour cream 4 ounces of fine sugar
Pluck the rose petals from the head. Cut away the white basal (heels) portions and discard. Put aside some petals for a garnish. Put sugar, water and cinnamon in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil. Add the cherries and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Add the wine and rose petals. Remove from the heat and allow to sit until cool. Put this mixture in the blender or food processor; liquefy it. Stir in 8 ounces of the sour cream and all the Kirsch. Refrigerate to chill thoroughly. Serve in a large glass bowl swirling the rest of sour cream on top. Scatter with rose petals and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Yield: 6-8 servings

you can really taste rose petals when you start with so few???

dunno that i'd want to EAT rose petals, they seem more something you want to SMELL, and that doesn't necessarily transpose to taste...

Actually Rose petals are a fairly common uncommon ingredient. They're very edible, and do impart a taste of that smell. Soups, desserts...

I've even had a Creme Brulee in the past that was done with rose oils that was really good.

okay, then i'm definitely missing something, because i thought roses were used for scent and for rose hip tea.
