ROSA JORDI
COMPOSITION
Cooked rose petals
300 g Jordi rose petals
300 g Water
100 g Sugar
2 g Ascorbic acid
Remove petals from the roses, and wash them with cold water. Strain the petals, and then dry with a paper towel. Cut the petals into 2 or 3 pieces, depending on their size. Mix water, sugar and ascorbic acid, and then blend. Introduce the rose petals into the sugar solution, and keep in the fridge for 8 hours. Afterwards, cook in a water bath at 90ºC for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, and then set aside.
Candied rose petals
400 g Litchi water (from can)
200 g Mineral water
40 g Pectin NH
200 g Liquid glucose
200 g Sugar
600 g Cooked rose petals (from previous recipe)
100 g Rose water
4 g Ascorbic acid
Combine litchi water, mineral water and NH pectin. Blend, and then heat to 40ºC. Add the liquid glucose and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then add the cooked rose petals and their syrup (from previous recipe). Cook for 5 more minutes.
While the mixture is cooking, stir rose water with ascorbic acid in a separate bowl. After five minutes, introduce the rose water and ascorbic acid into the mixture, and let everything cook for 1 minute. Remove from the stove, cover the pot with a lid, and let rest for 20 minutes. Let cool, and store in jars.
Apricot jam
1.200 g Apricot purée
300 g Sugar
480 g Water
34 g Pectin NH
Mix water and pectin, heat to 40ºC, add sugar and the apricot purée. Bring to a boil, and then cook at medium heat for 15 minutes. Allow to cool, and then set aside.
Rose mousse
480 g Heavy cream
40 g Egg yolk
50 g Sugar
50 g Rose water
3 Gelatine sheets
70 g Apricot jam (from previous recipe)
Soak gelatine sheets in water with ice cubes. Pour heavy cream into a pot and heat to 80ºC.
Mix egg yolks, sugar and rose water in a bowl. Introduce the warm cream and blend everything together. Add the hydrated gelatine and let cool for 2 hours in the fridge. Use a food processor to whip the cream and mix in the apricot jam. Put aside.
Apple-grapefruit Spread
4 g Potassium bitartrate
3 g Water
60 g Sugar
14 g Pectin NH
200 g Apple juice
8 g Grated grapefruit zest
600 g Sugar
140 g Glucose
Dissolve potassium bitartrate in water. Mix 60g of sugar with pectin and put aside. Prepare a Koma style tray with silicone covering and a 30cm x 40cm frame. Put aside.
Heat the apple juice, grapefruit juice and zest, to 40ºC.
Add sugar and pectin mix and bring to a boil. Introduce the remaining sugar and glucose, then heat to 107ºC.
Pour in the potassium bitartrate and water mix, stir continuously.
Pour everything directly into the frame and cool to room temperature (if not the mixture could coagulate in the pot and it would be difficult to spread). Cut cubes of 1,5cm. Roll them in sugar until they are completely covered. Place on a sieve screen to remove excess sugar and leave on a cooling rack for 72 hours to dry. Put aside.
