Ginger and Hibiscus Jelly
The most surprising use of this versatile and fragrant Ginger and Hibiscus Jelly might be as a condiment for oysters; but it works! The sharp tang of the jelly beautifully balances the salty creaminess of the shell! But if you prefer it on its own, as a condiment for venison, with which it also pairs gorgeously, for dessert or at breakfast, this lovely, wobbly thing will suits your fancies nicely!
Ingredients (makes about a cup):
1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger
1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers
1 1/2 cup water
1 gelatin leaf
2 tablespoons caster sugar9
Peel ginger and cut into thin strips.
Combine ginger strips and dried hibiscus flowers into a small saucepan. Pour in the water. Heat over a low flame. Once boiling, remove from the heat and allow to infuse, 15 minutes.
Soak gelatin leaf in a bowl of cold water.
Strain mixture thoroughly and return collected ginger and hibiscus water to the saucepan. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat. Stir in caster sugar until dissolved. Simmer, a few minutes.
Squeeze water out of the gelatin leaf and stir it into the hot ginger and hibiscus mixture until completely melted. Remove from the heat, and pour ginger and hibiscus jelly into a shallow plate or small silicon molds. Allow to set overnight, in the refrigerator.
Serve Ginger and Hibiscus Jelly as a condiment for oysters, on its own or onto yoghurt or toasts...

For the first time in a very long time, my red hibiscus has multiple blooms!!! 🌺
This hibiscus is years and years old, was abandoned for a couple years when i thought it'd given up on me, then i saw a single red bloom on top and realized I was the one who'd given up!! It had never quit!
It went from abandoned next to a tree, with sparse leaves at the top, to now leaves and branches growing all along its trunk and multiple buds/flowers!
