Subject: Re: Rosella Jam

BerniceC:That explains somethings now I'm interested in knowing what sort of a tree this rosella flower grows on. Is it a tropical plant?

14. January 2007, 23:00:50

Subject: Re: Rosella Jam

skipinnz: im going outside to see if there are any flowers on the plants....they have only been in the ground about 4-5 months so are young plants, but I have already had about a kilo of fruit from 4 small plants....I have propogated another dozen plants so hopefully will have plenty of this delicious fruit shortly>

Subject: Re: Rosella Flower

BerniceC: I'm impressed, and it looks like you'll have a lot of fruit off of that plant.

14. January 2007, 23:33:59

Subject: Re: Rosella Flower

skipinnz: as I said they are only young plants, but they are fruiting well :)

To make the jam you have to take all the "red" leaves off the outside and save the seeds...you wrap the seeds in muslin, boil cup for cup sugar/fruit with the juice of a lemon, and the seeds...boil for 45 minutes. The seed help with the pectin as the setting agent...it really is a nice jam.
