Rosella Jam

Before coming to Australia, I have never heard of the plant Rosella or of the bird for that matter!

This year is my first year growing Rosellas and it’s been great!
I love that they grow as big bushes and I love the flowers. You will notice that the plant ressembles to the okra plant: same height, shape, very similar flowers, both loving very hot climate. They are indeed in the same family of the Malvacae!

Here are my tips on growing them:

I have been harvesting them and popping them in the freezer all summer long and I think it’s now time to pull out my (3) plants and start making jam! I’m very excited as I have never taste it! I’ll let you know how I go on my social accounts ;) here is the illustrated recipe I will follow from the Seed Collection website.

Edit: photos of the jam session!

So Yummy!
