I hate to say it, but these were not sweet and I couldn't taste the rose flavor much. They were time consuming to make, but if they had been more tasty I wouldn't have minded a bit?!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I come from a mixed background. My mother was English and Dad was American (oklahoman speciaifically). My sister is a health nut and introduced me to my first avacado when I was about 10. The nutty flavor captured my taste buds and I have been experimenting with eveerything ever since. I have eaten evereything from alligator to mountain oysters, rattlesnake and escarot. I promise any of the recipes I share here will be with regular meats. Nothing weird and exotic. I will leave that to the professional chefs and also for your adventurous outings. I hope you will find these recipes as easy and delicious as I have.
