~*Rosella Jam*~
Ingredients:
Rosella fruit
Water
Sugar
Method:
Separate the red calyx (the fleshy cover) from the seedpod.
Put the red calyx into a bowl and the seedpods into a saucepan, cover the seedpods with water and simmer for 10 minutes , until soft and translucent in appearance. Strain the seedpods through a sieve and dispose of the seedpods, reserving the liquid. This process extracts the pectin from the seedpods to help the jam set.
Pour the liquid back a large saucepan , add the red calyx and simmer gently until they are very soft.
Measure this fruit pulp and add cup for cup of sugar to fruit,(or for larger amounts, 1 litre of fruit pulp=1 kilo of sugar)
Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and then bring to the boil. To test if the mixture is setting place a saucer in the freezer to chill, then put a teaspoon of jam on the saucer. Wait for it to cool slightly and then push the top of it with your finger, If it crinkles it is cooked.
Another sign the mixture is setting is when the jam stops frothing and settles down to a hard boil.
Pay close attention to the jam when its starts setting because it will burn easly.
Bottle the jam into clean hot jars and seal immediately.
