ROSE PETAL HONEY TAFFY BALLS ADAPTED FRON HUICI’S TRANSLATION OF ANÓN AL-ANDALUS #525 PASTA DE ROSA MELADA, p 284
½ lb rose petals
2 lbs honey
Preparation
Remove enough rose petals from the buds to layer an
earthenware dish. Wash and let drip dry.
Boil honey and clarify. Add rose petals. Gently boil (using
a candy thermometer) up to 300º F
Fill a bowl with
ice water. Drop small amounts of the mixture into the bowl. They will form
little balls.
Remove from water
and let cool over parchment paper. If not available paint plastic wrap with oil and place the candy on this.
Eat like nuts during meals. As it must be sucked, it is an excellent way shut up those who chatter too much!
It elevates stomach and liver problems as well as dropsy in
the lower abdomen. It also moderately helps body-building, if it be God’s will.

Due to lack of rose pedals the recipe was reduced to 2 oz rose petals and 8
oz/2 c honey.
