G'day Everyone, these food and preserving videos are never the most popular on my channel. However, they're still worth uploading to show what amazing foods we can make from the produce we grow in our own home gardens... Get into it! Cheers :)
I love these videos. I'm always looking for different ways to use my fruit and veg I grow. I've used a few of your recipes. So thanks and keep up the good work. Love from South Aus❤
Got to say I love you mate. My father past away a few years ago. When I hear your voice I feel some type of comfort. I appreciate all of your videos. You give off such a great calming energy. You videos are so calming after a long day.
Love you too mate. Sorry about your father's passing - I know it leaves a great hole in people's lives when they lose a loved one. We all go one day, and there should be no regrets, no wishful last words, or lamenting the scarcity of time spent together because no one really knows when God will take them, so let's be thankful for each day, our family, friends, and fellow humans who walk this Earth in this form only once. All the best, Wesley and take care :)
In Jamaica we call this plant Sorrel and make a very popular drink by boiling it along with ginger (Amount of ginger varies depending on your liking) followed by sweetening to taste. Its a must during the Christmas season here.
That’s almost exactly how I’ve been doing it for thirty years. The secret is cooking the Seeds separately. I hadn’t thought of adding the rinds to the seeds though. That’s a great idea I’ll try next week when I do my jam. I also freeze the seeds and yummy bits separately if I don’t have enough for a full batch.
I recently made a rosella soft drink by making a tea out of my dried rosella, adding sugar, cooking and adding some of my home made ginger bug. I let it sit for about a week and wow- what a yummy and pretty pink soft drink with lots of fizz!
In case anybody needs it, the scientific name of roselle hibiscus is hibiscus sabdariffa. There are lots of species of hibiscus and each one has a different common name in many parts of the world. So look for the scientific name when purchasing seeds, so you don’t end up with the wrong one. This is not the only edible hibiscus specie, either!
Good morning, Mark, thank you for the recipe. When I arrived in Australia as a youngish lad [1960], I was told about the wonderful wildlife [birds] and then told Australians also make rosella jam. I was heartbroken to hear that Australians made jam from birds. And I knew that they ate various strange foods. I kept my thoughts to myself, unless I was made to look foolish. But obviously I now know how mistaken I was. rosella jam is my absolute favourite. And if we are at any farmers markets, I seek it out. And it's usually the CWA that have it. Love your channel, and there is more rain on the way. Cheers
LOL... Yes Andrew, you wouldn't be the only one who confused rosella with our native bird wildlife! The rain just keeps falling but at least that awful humidity is not as bad!! All the best :)
I made approx 15 jars of rosella jam this season At the IGA at Peregian Beach, they sell a rosella/ginger/chilli jam. It's freaking amazing!! I've got a few bags of peeled rosellas in the freezer and once I harvest my ginger, I'm going to try to copy it. :)
I would be interested in how that turned out. I am not that brave yet as I am just starting jams jellies and canning haven't pressured canned yet the pressure canner I want from forjars is on back order.
@@JeanHudson2022 I use wax to seal my jams in the jar, then just pop the lid on. Let the jam cool a little, then pour about 1cm of melted, unscented, wax on top. You can then store it unrefrigerated in the pantry.
Mommy made this for us alot as children, especially at christmas. Because in Trinidad we make juice with, she will usr it after she have boiled and strained the sorrel (that's what we call it) in water. Then she will make the jam out it it. Never seen the seeds used for the jam but this is cool.
Really love your videos and sharing of your knowledge! I watch from the USA and have started growing my own garden using your videos. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
We've made this a few times now (Orlando, FL) and it's incredible! Our rosella didn't take off until late fall, and we just harvested more today. It's still growing this late in the season and is well above our heads. We planted seeds from last years harvest April or May this year. The first photo I have is June 22 and they were just over one foot tall.
My mom brought a recipe over from Mexico. It uses hibiscus flower to make "Agua Fresca" or fresh water. So delicious. I really enjoy your channel Mark!
My rosella are growing do big this year must be all the rain. Just finished a batch of rosella and pear fruit leather, im gonna give this recipe a try with the next harvest (I've always strained it)
In india we use the very same Red Rosella for making pickles it tastes very good with rice, we use leaves when they are twnder and in later stages we use the pods for making pickles. Its a very famous pickle in India, there are a lot of places that make money by selling Rosella pickles
Thanks for your video. Here in the west indies, it's the traditional fruit of Christmas and is mostly consumed as drinks (hot or cold) I've made jam a few times but never used the pods separately. Will try this year 👍
After seeing this I'll be planting some Rosella. I have made rosella jam before, but it was years ago. Love that you show what you make out of what you grow. It gives inspiration.
The leaves are great in salads and also good for curries (though not too many as it can have a laxative effect for some people). A few leaves are yummy. You can also freeze the leaves to sprinkle into meals.
First, thank you Marc for sharing this video! Second, I was surprised you didn't water-bath the jars when they were filled because I've grown so accustomed to seeing this done with typical jams and jellies here in the USA. BUT when I was growing up, my Mom and I never water-bath canned our homemade jams/jellies and the only ones that weren't shelf-stable for a year or more were the ones whose 2-part lids didn't seal. (Those went in the fridge for first eating!) So now I'm off to find where I can get some roselle/rosella seeds or plants to grow my own. Thanks again and hugs from Georgia, USA!
Bahahaha that's what I thought too! I saw the panic in his eyes. My brother in law calls them the catholic Mafia. Love your work Mark. Have been watching you for years and started growing food in pots on my Melbourne balcony. Back in nz now and while looking to buy enough land to expand the self sustainable gardens, have been spending time with my father in his gardens. So rewarding on so many levels. Thank you.
I live in Phoenix, AZ in the US and lots of people love Roselle Hibiscus here. It grows incredibly well in our sweltering summers. This is a great video to help me make jam, which I've never done before. Thank you for educating us. I have a friend from Aus who lives here and I may share the jam with her to get her opinion. :)
I had never tried rosella until July 2022, when hubby and I did a road trip from south of Adelaide to Darwin. On the return trip we stopped at the town of Adelaide River where they had a rosella festival. I don't love it but I also don't hate it. I did buy several products to have at home.
Thank you for this video!!! I can harvest hibiscus from a local farm, and am using your steps to make jelly. After that, it will become the filling for some orange masa harina sandwich cookies. I am STOKED!!!! 😂❤
In the US, at least, you can buy dehydrated rosella at Hispanic grocery stores. I believe it’s called Jamaica (ha-my-ca). I was so excited at my little harvest one year and then saw a giant bag and said “yeah- that’s sunchokes next year”
I just looked it up. Jamaica and rosella are the calyx of the same plant. Evidently the seed pod is pectin-rich, like rose hips, allowing the jam to jell without adding commercial pectin. I’m from California where jamaica tea and soft drinks are popular. Lime is a usual addition, and I’m guessing limes would be a good substitute for lemons in this preparation.
Thank you! We just planted a rosella in the garden. I made paw paw jam last month, it was amazing! I reckon it’s right up there with rosella jam. I used the paw paw jam recipe from Jeff Hariot’s channel.
In Trinidad and Tobago and other parts of the Caribbean it's called "sorrel" and the calyxes are boiled and steeped then cooled to make a very refreshing delicious drink also called sorrel with sugar, cloves, nutmeg and sometimes ginger added. This was traditionally a Christmas drink. It's now available year round as concentrate or sodas or tetra packed ready to use drinks. It's also made into a wine. The left over calyex from the juice making process are then made into jams. The flowers are edible raw and young leaves can be cooked as a leaf vegetable. The seeds can be made into a flour or roasted and made into a coffee like beverage. It's available in the US dried under names like sorrell or Jamaican roselle
I really like your videos, I even got my dad watching as well I love watching people at home poking with there own produce, not only is it rewarding as a grower and fun to do and I like to learn from others I've never grown Rosella before but I'm planning to this year, I'm a very nervous grower, I generally stick to 'cookie cutter' plants (corn, peas and beans) I tried strawberries a few times but strawberries don't like to grow for me 🤷 but I'm not adventurous when it comes to growing my own food. But I feel mark has given me the confidence to give anything a go. Including my daughters who have decided to grow Dragon fruit and Avocado from seed. Thank you Mark and keep the recipes coming
Great looking jam Mark. Have never eaten Rosella jam, even though I’m Australian, I always thought Rosella was just a brand name for chutney 🤪🤣. I live in Melbourne….so going online to see if the plants will grow down here, if they do, will give them a go in our garden …. just so I can make the jam. Thanks for another informative video. 😊❤
Guess what I am doing right now, making rosella jam ! We grew only one bush this year, but are planning to put a few in the front yard as part of a food garden /meadow for next year.
Rosella (hibiscus ) is rich in vitamin and antioxidant. lots of benefits, I'm still planting it at home. thank you for information 🙏 Greetings from Indonesia 👍🙏🇮🇩
I miss that jam, I used to make it in Oz. Can't find them here in the UK. Alternatively to the finger-push test, you can just use a thermometer, and once it gets to 104 deg C it is ready.
Im starting my roselle earlier this year so I can get bigger calyxes. This recipe really helps me in south Texas as I am always looking for new things to grow and recipes to use them in. Also, I'm a USAF vet. Gardening can really help.
Many years ago I used to make wine from bought hibiscus tea. I would win the first prize every time I entered the wine in the amateur wine competitions here in New Zealand. Really delicious wine!
That jam looks deliscious❤ Jaggery is unprocessed sugar. Still has all the healthy minerals in it & I wouldn't be surprized if you invent an excellent recipe with it.❤
G'day from the States, Mark. Your gardens must produce a massive amount of food. What do you do with it all? Sell? Donate? Friends? Awesome channel btw 👌
Always great content. Too much sugar for me but I really appreciate the video and the knowledge it gives. Always love your videos Mark. Your passion, warmth, knowledge and humour are such gifts. Cheers 👍
That sounds like a lovely jam. Here in the states that would be a refrigerator jam since you didn't water bath it. I'll have to see if I can find some of those Rosella here in the states. :) Ty Mark.

The ones that don't view are missing much! Thanks for the recipes & all that you share! Shalom!

That’s a great idea I’ll try next week when I do my jam. I also freeze the seeds and yummy bits separately if I don’t have enough for a full batch.
Nothing better than homemade jam. Another great video Mark. And I have found a new plant for my garden.
So true! Thank you Gina! Cheers :)
I recently made a rosella soft drink by making a tea out of my dried rosella, adding sugar, cooking and adding some of my home made ginger bug. I let it sit for about a week and wow- what a yummy and pretty pink soft drink with lots of fizz!
Ok, now I want to try that. I'm getting into making water kefir for my 'bug' now.
This chilled tea is called, “Jamaica” in Mexico.
Good stuff I bet! Nice :)
Called sorrel in Trinidad and Tobago, we add cloves, nutmeg, ginger.
I use an apple corer to de-seed my rosella. My grand father used to use a 303 shell. I dehydrate mine to use in making cordial. Great recipe.
Top tip! Cheers :)

I love all of your videos!
I wish i was your neighbour- I learn so much from you- thankyou for all of your content 😊

Looks really good. Here in the United States in the south, we use the phrase. I reckon a lot.
I reckon so... I watch too many Clint Eastwood Westerns! :)

Is it like hibiscus tea or very different?
I’d love to know what it is if there’s a way you could please share. Hibiscus grows so well where I live and I’d love to try it.
It reminds me of agua de jamaica.
@klarag7059 just dry the petals. Then steep in hot water for a tea.
So cool. Thanks Mark! you are a great gardener and seem very nice. Love to see all your healthy and unique plants.
My rosella are growing do big this year must be all the rain. Just finished a batch of rosella and pear fruit leather, im gonna give this recipe a try with the next harvest (I've always strained it)
I've been preserving for years. Never heard of rosella. Will look around. Great show. I think you are terrific. Kind regards from NZ.

I'm in West Africa and I'm preparing to plant this when the rains come next month. I'll definitely look for pickle recipes. Thanks for the idea. ❤

There's a south Indian curry made of mung beans and roselle leaves. It's tangy and delicious.
Definitely avoid any old, dry or diseased ones. Good advice for life.
The leaves are great in salads and also good for curries (though not too many as it can have a laxative effect for some people). A few leaves are yummy. You can also freeze the leaves to sprinkle into meals.

@@Selfsufficientme No Worries At All Fella, You Are My Idol I Always Have Time For Your Videos.

I've made a shit-loads of Jams. Always kept these in the rear of the pantry for 12 months before using and/or giving away.
I'd have a go at that except that I don't have a Rosella Bush, you can't beat a good homemade jam recipe.
Have a ripper mate!
So long since I had Rosella jam. Memories! I will have to keep my eye out for a plant. (Laughed at the CWA reference...they are fierce cooks).
Love Sorrel! Makes a tasty drink w ginger, cloves and allspice as well 🩷😊
Wow! I'm going to make this! Growing Roselle this year in pots!

When I'm in a jam, I'll come see you.
LOL...
I grow and make this jam each year ❤😊
I still remember getting those rotten prickles in my fingers as a kid when we helped mum with the Rosella Jam - best thing on hot toast!
I miss that jam, I used to make it in Oz. Can't find them here in the UK.
Alternatively to the finger-push test, you can just use a thermometer, and once it gets to 104 deg C it is ready.
Try searching for sorrel jelly/jam. You can check in Carribbean/African shops or look online
Thanks for sharing Mark 😊

I made roselle jam last year and have more growing. My family loves the jam!
Brilliant - very interesting. I hope to try this jam someday.
Sounds yummy and easy to do, Mark, but we don't have this plant in Oregon. Sad. I would surely be trying it if we did.
I made a Jamaican sorrel last week. I have some left over in the freezer. I am going to try to turn it into a jam with pectin. Thanks for the video!
we call it sorrell in my country and make a drink from it especially during christmas
I love this video. It's so fascinating how these leaves make Jam! Wow 👏
Thanks for the recipe. I really got into it. 👍
Thank you for this ! Can't wait to make it!
my rosellas have been so slow to start this year... but in the last few days i have 100's of flowers! ill be saving this video to use a few more weeks
That sounds like a lovely jam. Here in the states that would be a refrigerator jam since you didn't water bath it. I'll have to see if I can find some of those Rosella here in the states. :) Ty Mark.
Awesome informative video, just what I needed to see thank you!!
thanks Mark jam looks yummy 👍😊👍
Yum! I have wanted to grow Rosellas and now I have a recipe too 👍👏🌷. Thank you ❤
You’ve just convinced me to grow rosellas. I’m in much same climate zone as you but a bit lower in NSW.
Nice one, Mark
also been given Limes and a few lemons, so going to try a lime cake.
Oh Wow! That looks delicious! 😀
Right! Now to find some Rosella plants 😍
Thanks, Mark. I really value this kind of video, introducing new ways of consuming unusual foods from our gardens.
We call it Sorrel here 🇯🇲 it's phenomenal!! Great for drinks and cooking. Flor de Jamaica is another name fyi
Sorrel here in Australia is a green leafy spinachy salady type plant. Interesting what each country calls it.
