Home Made Rosella Jam

Not too much beats Rosella Jam on toast.
In this Video from the Cottage we show how we make delicious Rosella Jam at home, a skill which may be in vogue again with prices going up!
Getting back to basics can be fun and rewarding... it's just a change of mind!
Enjoy the Video :)

Thanks, this is a very good video. I have just "discovered" the roselle plant and have seeds started. This will be my first year, and being an optimist, am looking for a jam recipe.... 🙂

Thanks very much Rosella’s are a beautiful plant with beautiful flowers and fruit. We hope you get a bountiful harvest and glad you found the video helpful. We also have a video on how to dry the outside parts of the fruit and make hibiscus tea as well as a colouring and flavour for kombucha. It would be great if you would be able to post some photos of your harvest. And good luck with the jam😊😊👍🏻

Why did you dump the pectin liquid out, only to pour it right back in?

[@corymbiacottageorganicgard3417]

Great question, sorry we didn’t really explain this, but the reason to decant the liquid and put it back in is so we ensure we don’t put too much liquid in with the calyx’s as it would make a runny jam😊
