Dawn
By Larin S. Larson
Curls of mist wind their way through tall birches, wrapping around slender white trunks. A blanket of soft fog lies thickly over dew drenched grasses. Slowly, like a melody the faintest angle blush appears above high frosted hills and the first lark sings, her sweet lilting tune drifting through the valley. Laughing breezes tickle a fawn's nose and he nudges his mother to wake her. Daises and wild sweet peas turn their faces to welcome the warmth of the sun as it shows its golden face, flooding the valley with light.

Rose Petal Jam
Ingredients:
1 ½ C
2 oz (approx. 2 cups lightly packed or to what would be a perfectly comfy fairy bed)
2 C organic cane sugar
3 T fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Pomonas fruit pectin (available in natural food stores)
2 oz (approx. 2 cups lightly packed or to what would be a perfectly comfy fairy bed)
2 C organic cane sugar
3 T fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Pomonas fruit pectin (available in natural food stores)
Instructions:
Place water and roses in a sauce pan. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes. Add 1 ¾ c of sugar into the simmering petals . Stir to dissolve the sugar crystals. Add 3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pay attention to the gorgeous vibrant color that emerges. Simmer 10 minutes. Mix the remaining ¼ c sugar and pectin in a bowl. While stirring the jam add the pectin mixture sprinkle by sprinkle to insure pectin incorporates without clumping. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes. It may seem quite loose for jam, it will firm up as it sets but does remain more of a silky syrup with luscious bits of petals. Keeps for 2 months in the fridge, also freezes beautifully and canning is always a brilliant option.
