Hi PM

I asked over on another forum and one of their members kindly put this up. One is for rosella Jelly and the other is for Jam. Hope it’s not too late.

Rosella JELLY

The worst part of rosella jam is pulling them apart. good job for the kids. LOL

I made this Rosella Jelly once and it was quite nice.

Wash fruit, do not cut.
Almost cover with water and boil until the seeds are seen thru the pods and fruit is reduced to a pulp.
Strain thru a scalded jelly bag [ or two thicknesses of tea towel }
Do not squeeze jellies….they become cloudy.

Add one cup sugar to one cup of juice and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Boil 20 minutes, longer boiling will spoil colour.

——————————————————-

ROSELLA JAM.
sEPARATE SEEDS FROM THE HUSKS AND WASH THREE TIMES.

pUT FRUIT IN PAN AND LEAVE OVERNIGHT.

pUT SEEDS IN A CONTAINER AND JUST COVER WITH BOILING WATER.
pUT ON A LID.
nEXT DAY SHAKE THE SEEDS WELL AND STRAIN, AND POUR THE LIQUID ON THE FRUIT.
aDD SOME LEMON JUICE.
cOOK UNTIL TENDER.
aDD ONE CUP OF SUGAR TO 1 CUP OF PULP AND BOIL TILL IT JELLIES.
nO LONGER THAN 20 MINUTES.

sorry about the caps, was touch typing and didn’t look till I had finished.

This is from Meriash, over on TheE’s forum.

How do I know when the seeds are ripe? They are white at the moment.

Ok, in my experience, the rosella will start to open at the top when it is ripe…I’ll go back and ask about the ripe seeds…my mother gave me (which I lost) a seed pod from which the fruit had been stripped…the seeds had browned off and the pod was dryish…never took much notice when I was a child helping to strip the fruit from the pods…it was never my ambition to emulate my mother by spending all my time cooking, cleaning and sewing…

Here’s a bit more:

Rosellas are ripe when you can pick them off easily without any trouble.
The seed pod itself will be green.

Does he want to keep the seed, Dinetta. If so just let the seed pod dry out. It will get brittle and the seeds just fall out.

Someone I knew made rosella jam every year and added granny smiths and the usual lemon juice and sugar – bit of water. That was it I think. “

There you go…

GF won’t let me eat 2min noodles for Brekkie… and I always say “But BG eats em?” and she says “would you jump off a cliff if BG did?” and I say “BG wouldn’t jump off a cliff in the first place so thats a silly argument”.

I always end up with toast.
