Foxy Lady: What am I on approval for, not sweeping my leaves up off the path? Sorry, I been so busy with the tournies on here I have not had time and not only that I am hungry and cold and if I went outside to sweep up I would probably freeze and starve to death then I would time out on all my games so I will have to leave the leaves for a bit!

Subject: Re: Rosella Flower

skipinnz: as I said they are only young plants, but they are fruiting well :)

To make the jam you have to take all the "red" leaves off the outside and save the seeds...you wrap the seeds in muslin, boil cup for cup sugar/fruit with the juice of a lemon, and the seeds...boil for 45 minutes. The seed help with the pectin as the setting agent...it really is a nice jam.

Subject: Re: Rosella Jam

skipinnz: im going outside to see if there are any flowers on the plants....they have only been in the ground about 4-5 months so are young plants, but I have already had about a kilo of fruit from 4 small plants....I have propogated another dozen plants so hopefully will have plenty of this delicious fruit shortly>

BerniceC:That explains somethings now I'm interested in knowing what sort of a tree this rosella flower grows on. Is it a tropical plant?
