Rose marmalade
Where as for most people ,the smell of roses are one that most people like,while the taste may not be for everyone. But I think it may be an acquired taste,since in India and in the middle east it is used a lot in cakes and desserts. I love the taste, and tries to savor as much of it as I can.
The marmalade is quite easy to make, but it requires an hour while it is cooking to stir it so that the color stays red and doesn't turn brown.
