And I can attest that Butch's Rose Petal Jam is delicious, because I bought

several last December for myself and for gifts... in fact, his jam is what

got me hooked ion the stuff n the first place. The only reason I'm making

it myself now is because I've already spent all my spare change on his

essential oils, leaving me none left for jam, wah! lol.

 

Thanks for the distillery description and link, Butch. I didn't think

they'd refrigerate the flowers, but was wondering how they managed handling

all those fleurs. Very interesting! Wish I could afford to see it in

person.. .never did make it over to that corner of th world. Well, maybe if

I win the Lotto... I " invested " in a ticket today, haha.

 

By the way, while looking for a site I remembered having seen a year or two

ago on using rose leaves for herbal tea, I found an interesting link on

roses in Mrs. Grieves, " A Modern Herbal "

http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/r/roses-18.html. This particular

webpage talks about the different kinds of roses grown for rose water and

essential oil, and how the different countries grew and processed them. The

book was written in 1931, so it gives a kind of historical view of roses...

fairly interesting site of medical herbal usage in general.

 

<<Also .. for you soap makers .. Jenny raises goats so she has lots of goat

milk for sale. It does NOT spoil easily and can be frozen and shipped ..

that's a fact.>>

 

Well, it's true that I have LOTS of milk, because my deer breeder buyer

backed out, so I'm drying up most of the goats posthaste as soon as the

kids are weaned... 10 gallons a day will be hard to dispose of, LOL!
