DIRECTIONS
Clean petals, removing stems and green parts. Knead with 1 cup sugar and let rest for a few hours.
In a pot, combine petals, 1.5 L of water and cloves, bring to a boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes
Then add remaining sugar and simmer for 15-20 more minutes.
Test consistency by placing a drop on a cold plate. If thick, it's ready; if runny, cook a little longer.
Stir in lemon juice and citric acid and cook for 5-6 more minutes.
Pour into sterilized jars. Store and serve as a floral spread, infusion, or dessert topping.

Enjoy the fleeting beauty of sakura in every spoonful!
