以下是一个简单的芍药花酱的制作方法
Here is a simple recipe for making peony flower jam:
材料：
新鲜芍药花瓣：150g（约6朵）
糖：200g（1杯）
柠檬半个
水：150ML（2/3杯）
玉米淀粉：2汤匙
蜂蜜：1汤匙
Ingredients:
Fresh peony petals: 150g (about 6 flowers)
Sugar: 200g (1 cup)
Half Lemon
Water: 150ML (2/3 cup)
Corn starch： 2 tbsp
Honey: 1 tbsp
准备花瓣：将芍药花掰开，去掉花梗和其他不需要的部分，只留下花瓣。
Instructions:
Prepare the petals: Removing the stems and any unwanted parts, ensuring you have only the petals.
用水清洗干净花瓣
Clean the peony petals in water thoroughly
把花瓣沥干
Drain the petals
煮花瓣：把糖倒入锅里，加入1/3杯水炒化
Boil the petals: In a pot, add suger and 1/3 cup of water and bring it to a boil
烧开后放入芍药花瓣
Add the peony petals
將花瓣煮軟，大約需要5-10分鐘
Cook until peony petals soften, which should take about 5-10 minutes
将柠檬汁挤入花瓣中
Squeeze lemon juice into the petals
将柠檬切开放入一起煮
Cut the lemon into pieces and cook together
把一起煮了一会儿的柠檬夹走
Take away the lemon that has been cooked together for a while
煮好的花瓣颜色会变得稍微暗一些
The petals will darken slightly in color
我比较喜欢块状花瓣的质感，所以我只是用剪刀把花瓣剪成碎片。
I prefer a chunky texture so use scissors to cut the petals into pieces
或者，你可以将煮软的花瓣与水一起倒入搅拌机中搅拌至顺滑
Or you can transfer the softened petals with the water into a blender and blend until smooth.
继续用中火煮，并不断搅拌，
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly
在剩下的1/3杯水里加入玉米淀粉和蜂蜜，搅匀
Add corn starch and honey to the remaining 1/3 cup of water and stir well
把蜂蜜淀粉水倒入煮软的花瓣里，
Pour the honey starch water into the soft boiled petals
拌炒均匀到花酱粘稠
and stir until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency
将煮好的芍药花酱放入已消毒的玻璃罐中
Put the cooked peony flower jam into a sterilized glass jar
盖紧盖子后将玻璃罐倒置放在桌面上
After tightening the lid, place the glass jar upside down on the table
待其冷却后，可以放入冰箱冷藏保存
Let it cool, then you can store it in the refrigerator
