1Line 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.
2Stir 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.
3Stir rose water and food coloring into the mixture in the pot; pour directly into the prepared cake pan.
4Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
5Lightly 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.
6Spread confectioners' sugar into a wide, shallow dish. Roll gelatin squares in the sugar to coat.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
Rose water can be found at specialty food stores, online, or can be made.
When cooking the jelly, it may take on a slightly burnt color. This is natural and and will not effect flavor. It does boil over easily, so pick a pan that has plenty of extra space.
