cooking spray
2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
3 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons rose water
1 dash red food coloring, or desired amount
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Line a 9-inch cake pan with enough aluminum foil to have it hanging over the sides; spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Stir sugar, water, and gelatin together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook at a simmer, stirring constantly, for 20 minutes.
  • Stir rose water and food coloring into the mixture in the pot; pour directly into the prepared cake pan.
  • Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Lightly dust a cutting board with some of the confectioners' sugar. Invert cake pan onto the cutting board. Gently peel aluminum foil from the surface of the gelatin. Cut gelatin into squares.
