Sorrel Jam recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh sorrel leaves, washed and chopped
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 lemon (juiced)
• 4 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

Prepare the sorrel:

1. Wash the sorrel leaves thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
2. Chop the sorrel finely.

Cook sorrel:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped sorrel and water.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sorrel is soft.

Extract juice:

1. Strain the sorrel mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You should have about 1 cup of sorrel juice.

Make jam base:

1. In a large pot, combine the sorrel juice, lemon juice, and sugar.
2. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Bring to a boil:

1. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.

Boil and skim:

1. Allow the jam to boil for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
2. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

Check consistency:

1. To check the consistency, place a small amount of the jam on a cold plate. Let it sit for a moment, then push it with your fingertip. If it wrinkles, the jam is ready.

Fill jars:

1. Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
2. Ladle the hot jam into sterilised jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.

Seal jars:

1. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to ensure a proper seal.
2. Place sterilised lids on the jars and screw on the bands.

Cool and store:

1. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
