Directions

  1. Grease an 8-inch square pan with vegetable oil.

  2. Place 2/3 cup water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top, let stand until softened, about 15 minutes.

  3. Combine remaining 1 cup water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil syrup, covered, for 3 minutes.

  4. Uncover saucepan and attach a candy thermometer to the side, continue cooking syrup until the temperature reaches 238 degrees F (114 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in gelatin mixture carefully until completely dissolved. Mix in rose water and red food coloring.

  6. Cut gelled mixture into 1-inch squares. Dust with cornstarch.
