After simmering for 30 minutes, mine quite wasn’t ready to pass the plate test. So I mushed up some of the pods with a big wooden spoon. Hope that wasn’t a mistake. It did change the aroma because now the mixture has a little bit of a musk fragrance. This reminded me that Abelmoschus Moschatus is related to Roselle and used to make an herbal based musk substitute for perfumes.
Like the no waste at all. Looking forward to the wine video. Have been wondering how much to use and actually how many plants it would take to get a yield big enough for a small batch of wine.. you is smaller gardens…
We call it Sorrel in Jamaica is very popular during Christmas...but I drink it all year round in my garden...boil in water and had a pinch of ginger and tip of sugar thats how we do it 😎
@KatrinaHarris-vl7xp Hello... yes, we removed the center seed before boiling. Also, if the seeds are mature enough, we let them dry out for a week or two, then germinate them again. However, sorrel seeds cannot least long during dormancy. So, you have to use them ASAP
This is my first yesr growing roselle. I tried the jam from another video and now i see you have one and yours looks so much better. I am glad i only made enough for 2 1/2 small jars. I will definitely be trying all 3 of your recipes. Can't wait till the ones i have on there get just s little bigger. With all these recipes i think i will grow a bunch of them next year. Thanks for all the great ideas ! Florida Gardener Zone 9a
This is the info and inspiration I was looking for thank you! I love the pulp idea. I grow stevia so I'm going to try substituting stevia for the honey. Let the experimentation begin. Thanks again!
Wow, had no idea you could snack on the seeds. Although I did see that in some areas of Africa they make ground fermented roselle seed balls called Ogiri. Interesting, will have to try when I finally get some planted. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! Jam is a much simpler than the recipe I used last year, and the results are just as good. I added juice from half a lemon and did the second boil/simmer till it reached 221 degrees F. (Guidance from my other recipe.) It turned out perfect. I don’t can so this is refrigerator jam for me.
Great video! I'm harvesting my first bush here in SW Florida. I've made the tea and want to explore different recipes using the leaves, as they are very good for you as well and tasty! It seems citrus-y to me, and have added to salad but I'm sure there must be some other food uses I haven't considered. I love to make jam - but I want to use it for even more!
Mine got hit by frost before it bloomed (coastal NC), but I've been eating the leaves for a few weeks. LOVE the lemony flavor! I use them in green smoothies with spinach and a variety of squashes and fruits, and they're delicious! Might toss 'em into an omelet next. They're just so yummy, I don't want to waste any of them.
THANK YOU! Great video! I learned a lot from this video on varied uses. This was my first year growing roselle and I plan to grow a lot more next year. I thank you for showing dehydrating and i say again as I have said many times over the years of following HOSS TOOLS, I wish you would get a freeze dryer and show that as well as showing dehydrating. I want to add one thing about using agave in anything. I do use agave because of low glycemic index due to my hypoglycemia, I always use raw cold processed agave, but please know that it must not be heated above a specific temperature because then benefits is turned into detriment.
Sorry to ask , BUT we drink Hibiscus flower petals, is this the same plant? I have never grown so…. Am interested in knowing if I can grow this plant use the calyx and the petals as well.
@@destinyandpurpose The petals looks completely different than the “Calyx’s” to me that why I asked the question that never got answered correctly! Lol I will researching online and will post back here, If people don’t know how to grown the plant or even know where to buy the seeds then how do we even start to fathom to make this jelly. Not fully comprehensive.
We had an early freeze (November 1!) and I had to grab what I could from my Roselle before the frost killed it. So I have a bowl of calyxes that never bloomed or grew seed pods. Is it okay to use those for tea even though they're not mature? This is my first time growing Roselle, so I'm not sure if it might give me a belly ache if they're not ripe. Thank you for all these ideas. Hope to grow this again next year, starting earlier so I can get a better harvest.
Thanks for the video and recipes! I love mine and try growing it every year down here in NW Florida. Been fine until this year when it took forever to finally start growing but looked very healthy. Overnight, just as the calyxes were large enough to pick, it was covered in a white powder over every part of the plant. It even smelled like mildew and I'm assuming it was mold. I've never seen it before and always thought it was an excellent plant due to its' resistence to everything - big mistake. I follow another homesteader in Ohio who reported that a white power appeared overnight and she, also was not going to use any of it as it smelled moldy. Have you ever exerienced this and how did you react to it. I did research some and found that in Asia and Japan, they do get a disease that it succumbs to readily but it hadn't been seen in US yet. Just need some info on how to keep growing it.
@@teenadamron7654 I grow it as an annual in Florida. Sometimes it lasts but I just plant fresh in May or June and have flowers by fall. FAST is the answer - depending on your location - it does LOVE heat and sunshine.Three plants give plenty of flowers.
You can also use the leftover pulp after making tea to make “Jamaica tacos”… delish

Thanks for sharing. I grew my first roselle and it is starting to have the buds. So excited to try tea and jam!
Wonderful!
This looks delish!! I would love to see your lemon and satsuma trees and how you get them to be productive…. 👩🏼🌾

Hibiscus tea can lower high blood pressure too (must be consumed daily).
Can't wait to see if I can grow this. Thanks for the video
You can do it!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with families! Thank you for all the info you give. May God Bless you all!
Same to you! Our pleasure
Looks so good! The color is beautiful! You could make a pretty lipstick from this!❤🙏🏻🌺
I think so too!
This is the info and inspiration I was looking for thank you! I love the pulp idea. I grow stevia so I'm going to try substituting stevia for the honey. Let the experimentation begin. Thanks again!
Wow! That looks delicious! I am going to get some seeds to grow up against the house on the side which gets the most sun.
Sounds great!
Wow! What a versatile hibiscus 😮
The best!

You taught me lots of new things in this video, very cool, thanks!
Thanks so much.
Well done with the $$

It was a wedding gift 38 years ago.
Thank you!!!! I’ve only been drying the calyxes for tea. Now I can make the jelly!
Oh! 😮
So many ideas for roselle.
Yes, and many more we did not cover
Oh I love this!!!!

Thanks Maggie, and I do have a freeze dryer ordered.
@@gardeningwithhoss AWESOME! I anxiously await you journey in freeze dryer land!

yes you can use them
How many plants does it take to make tea and jam?
2-3
How many plants do you need to make jelly or jam from roselle
4-5
What part of the plant do you use for tea?
Calyx (seed part)

I have never seen or heard of this. Will have to look into.
How long does it take to mature and be ready to use?
@@teenadamron7654 I grow it as an annual in Florida. Sometimes it lasts but I just plant fresh in May or June and have flowers by fall. FAST is the answer - depending on your location - it does LOVE heat and sunshine.Three plants give plenty of flowers.
What does the hibiscus cold drink taste like?
cranberry punch
Can this plant gow in a container?
No, it has extensive root system.

Do you sell the seeds?
yes, hosstools.com/products/roselle-hibiscus?_pos=3&_psq=+rose&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=45579368300854
That's a slow way to remove the seed.
