"1. Osmanthus jam is usually used as topping and filling of Chinese dessert. 2. There are many receipts of making osmanthus jam. You can just use sugar or just use honey. 3. Pickling osmanthus with salt is to remove the astringent flavor of the flower, this step can also help the flower sterilized. 4. Adding lemon peels is aimed to add sour flavor,you can also use shredded salted plum meat. 5. Store it into refrigerator after 7 days kept in room temperature."

  • Step 1/6

    • 50 g fresh osmanthus flowers/dried osmanthus flowers
    • sieve

    Wash the fresh osmanthus flower with clean water and filter out the water. Put the washed osmanthus flowers into a sieve and shake the sieve softly until most pedicles fell off. I recommend you watch an episode of animation while shaking your sieve.If you use the dried osmanthus flowers ,soak them into normal temperature water until they are unfolded and soft(1 hour or less),drain the water off.

    Softly mix the salt with the osmanthus flower and leave them for 10minutes.

  • Step 4/6

    Plane 5g lemon peel flakes, mix them into the salted osmanthus,put sugar into the mixture of osmanthus and lemon peel ,softly stir them with your hand.

    Get a spoon,scoop out some osmanthus mixture and put it on the bottom of the jar,first floor completed. Press it softly and make the first floor flat. Secondly scoop out some honey and pour it on the first floor,the thickness should be twice the thickness of the first floor,the second floor completed.Repeat above actions,osmanthus floor alternate with honey floor.Stop until the jar is 80% full.
