First roselle juice and jam in Tanah Merah.

There should be enough harvest to get roselle juice and jam. Kakdah had the pleasure of picking them one by one to fill a pink basket. The seven roselle plants gave us 129 dark red fruits.

Cara membuat jus dan jem roselle

Roselle: 

a basketful harvest, i have given the total number so no count the fruits contest!

Roselle:

Calyx, the red outer skin peeled and washed.

Roselle:

How it was done, separating calyx off the fruit.

Roselle:

The nuts which contain seeds are left to dry indoor, There should be a lot of them. Within a month, Kakdah will do giveaways..., stay tune for the announcement!

Roselle:
The calyx boiled for an hour, strained to get home-made roselle juice stock. Kakdah always dilutes the juice, add a little bit of sugar for a lovely roselle juice.

Roselle:

The residue is further boiled with sugar to get jam. Kakdah placed them in plastic containers.

 

Roselle:

As giveaways to neighbours and friends.... I hope they read this ( Roselle) to know more about its food value.

Roselle:

of course, a glass of cool iced roselle juice to end gardening chores for day. How would I describe the taste... wualla!!
