Categories: Russian, Holiday, Condiment

Pick the petals over, removing any debris, leaves, stems or insects.
Coarsely chop 1 cup of petals in a processor then add 1 cup of sugar
and half of the lemon juice, 1 Tb of rum, and another cup of sugar.
Mix for a minute, scraping the sides of the processor bowl. Repeat
