A romantic, turn of the century recipe from the Creole chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. While this recipe is written in an old-fashioned way, it is perfectly safe if processed using modern methods.

1/2 cup water, boiling
3 cups sugar
Directions:
1. Steep petals in boiling water for ten minutes.
2. Pound into a paste.
