Reviewer: Fay from Brisbane, Australia We have grown six bushes of rosellas this season so have picked lots of rosellas and made lots of jam. I only boil seed pods for 30 mins. You really need to add lemon juice and/or Jamsetta pectin for this jam to set properly. If you are making a large quantity even with the added pectin it requires at least 35 mins and mostly more to boil after sugar added before it jells. Was this review helpful to you?

Reviewer: minh (from Byron & Brisbane) from Brisbane Australia This was the first jam I had ever made. I had eaten LOTS of rosella jam over the years tho' so I knew what a good one should taste like. I'd planted a bush & was now face with my crop. I boiled the seeds up in the microwave for about 20 minutes. Then I did the rest of the recipe as given. I wasn't sure, however, whether it was going to set & I didn't have a lemon or any pectin. I did have a lime so i peeled the zest off & heated it up with some water in the microwave & added it with the juice of the lime. It has set beautifully. I also kept some of the pulp back, added much less sugar & made a rosella, jalapeno & fig chutney. Very yummy. Thank you for the good advice. :) Was this review helpful to you?

Reviewer: Lorraine of Ludmilla from Darwin, Northern Territory - Australia I can see why Rosella jam costs so much at fetes etc - Rosella bushes are hard to find and it is extremely labour intensive making the jam - but well and truly worth the effort. I used your recipe but modified it to 'Fay from Brisbane's' recipe by only boiling the seed pods for 30 mins, otherwise all the liquid would have gone! I added the juice of half a lemon before adding sugar. My jam came out perfect! Now I can savour the flavour!! Quite a number of people would like to know how to grow the bushes at home - in the ground, pots, soil, water etc?? I got my 'fruit' on the road to Daly River in the NT.
