  • Stir sugar, water, and gelatin together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook at a simmer, stirring constantly, for 20 minutes.

  • Stir rose water and food coloring into the mixture in the pot; pour directly into the prepared cake pan.

  • Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

  • Lightly dust a cutting board with some of the confectioners' sugar. Invert cake pan onto the cutting board. Gently peel aluminum foil from the surface of the gelatin. Cut gelatin into squares.

  • Spread confectioners' sugar into a wide, shallow dish. Roll gelatin squares in the sugar to coat.

Cook's Notes:

Rose water can be found at specialty food stores, online, or can be made.

When cooking the jelly, it may take on a slightly burnt color. This is natural and and will not effect flavor. It does boil over easily, so pick a pan that has plenty of extra space.
