So after I got better, hubby accompanied me to the nursery and we bought two pots back. Now it is time to harvest these babies.
After making the drink, I used the fruit to make into jam. Nothing is wasted.
I am now getting the hang of deseeding Roselle too.
So in love with these vibrant red!
What you need:
500g fresh roselle
200g sugar (to taste)
2 cup water½ cup water
2 cup water½ cup water
Method:
Rinse roselle and deseed.
Put 2 cup of water and
roselle petals in a pot and bring to a boil. Approx 5 mins till
petal is softened. Strain and pour the water back into the
pot. Add honey or sugar and stir till sugar melted. Serve
as drinks.
Pour the other ½ cup of
water with the soften petals in a blender and blend. If you like
some bites, just a quick pulse. Alternatively you can chop then finely.
Put the “puree” roselle
and sugar into a pot and bring to a boil. (you can taste and add sugar
accordingly). Lower heat and simmer till the puree become jam
like. Keep stirring to avoid burnt.
Store jam in sterlised glass jar and chill in fridge once cooled.

Hi Madin,
DeleteI can't recall the nursery name but it is just opp world's farm. I think it is called Pioneer. They supply flowers to Ikea.
Another place is a nursery in Jurong which was where I bought my very first roselle plant. Cheaper but smaller.

Call them to see whether it is available.
i hv not even tried roselle drinks :D if i see those fresh roselles in the market next time, i want to try making the drink first .
ReplyDeleteMy son loves the drink coz he likes soury stuff. I add honey to sweeten it sometime.
DeleteHi Edith, this homemade jam can last for few months in the fridge. My homemade roselle jam can last for more than 3 months! No preservative.
ReplyDeleteyes this jam does last well in the fridge but usually we used up very fast coz helper loves it.
