Wildflower Jelly Recipe

It has been cool summer in Northern Ohio, but makes it nice to work in a sunny greenhouse.  So strange when I was in school, teachers from South Carolina were imported to the Ohio area, now times are so tuff here in Ohio for teachers that South Carolina is importing our Ohio teachers.   So I hope you southerners will welcome my daughter to the Columbia area.  
To take my mind off of not seeing my little girl not every day I plan to  make rose petal jelly.

Ingredients
3-1/4 cup rose petals  (or any edible flower petals)
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup white grape juice
1 package powdered fruit pectin
3 cups sugar
1/4 cup rose petals

Remove bitter white nail of all the rose petals. Rinse petals and pat dry. Bring the 3-1/4 cups rose petals, water, and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in glass or stainless steel saucepan; reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for several hours to overnight.
Strain syrup, discarding flowers. Combine syrup, grape juice, and pectin in glass or stainless steel saucepan; mix well. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add remaining 3 cups sugar; mix well. Bring to a full rolling boil that will not stir down. Boil for 1 minute; remove from heat.
Place remaining 1/4 cup rose petals into 4 hot sterilized 1-cup jars. Ladle jelly into jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace; seal with 2-piece lids. Drape jars with a towel. Cool to room temperature and store in a cool place.
