As you may remember, we picked up some roselle fruit from the Central Pier farmer's market on Christin and Jared's last day here. The farmer who sold them to us said that it was very easy to make jam with them, so today Katherine and I decided to find out, and boy was she right. Using the simple recipe she taught us, we turned the amount we bought (half a catty, or about ¾ of a pound) into a jar of jam in no time!
Wash the fruit thoroughly!
Slice off each stem
Push the seed out through the back...
...until it pops out
Now the fruit is ready to cook!
Heat the water to a simmer, add the fruit and sugar, and stir constantly.In a matter of minutes, all the fruit will melt and become...
...a jar of jam!
It is very thick - no added gelling agents (like pectin) requiredHappy Boxing Day!

Sounds just yummy! Did you enjoy the flavor? The fruit is beautiful and so very unique. The LORD is truly amazingly creative =)
Whoa, the roselles are tiny! Didn't get that impression from the pictures before. Hmm, definitely curious to try this. If it's anything like rhubarb, it sounds awesome :)
Oh! It's what you make agua de jamaica from?? I always thought that was hibiscus. So I guess I *have* tried roselle, sort of :)
