Sorrel Jelly from Sorrel City

On a crisp December morning in the Bronx, the aroma of simmering sorrel and sugar wafts through the kitchen, signaling the start of a new experiment: turning Sorrel City's beloved drink into a sweet and tangy jelly. This jelly, made with the same hibiscus-based sorrel that Sorrel City bottles by hand, is a perfect addition to any breakfast table or snack time.

The Inspiration

Sorrel City's commitment to using only the finest ingredients and traditional Jamaican methods inspired us to create a jelly that captures the essence of their drink. By cooking down the sorrel with a touch of sugar and pectin, we have created a spread that is both familiar and innovative.

To make the jelly, we start with a 3:1 ratio of sorrel to sugar, adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of grated ginger for depth. The mixture is then simmered until the flavors have melded together and the liquid has thickened, resulting in a rich, crimson jelly.

Using the Jelly

This sorrel jelly is incredibly versatile and can be used as a topping for toast, yogurt, or even as a glaze for meats or cheeses. For a truly Caribbean-inspired treat, try pairing it with a strong cheese and a crusty bread. To get started, start an order from Sorrel City and experiment with the jelly recipe yourself.

As you explore the world of sorrel jelly, remember that Sorrel City is always here to provide the highest-quality, hand-bottled sorrel drink, made with love and care in the Bronx and available to customers across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Connecticut.
