Sorrel Jelly from Sorrel City's Drink

On a crisp winter morning in Brooklyn, the warmth of Sorrel City's Jamaican sorrel drink is a comforting ritual. As the holidays approach, specifically around Christmas and New Year's Eve, some people find that the drink's vitamin C and antioxidants make it a great base for a homemade jelly, often associated with a warm seasonal ritual.

From Drink to Jelly

Researchers have studied the properties of hibiscus, and according to some, it is traditionally believed to have various health benefits, but for Sorrel City, the focus is on the rich, fruity flavor and the cultural heritage of the drink. To turn Sorrel City's drink into a jelly, start by reducing the sorrel on the stovetop, then mix it with sugar and pectin, following a basic jelly recipe.

A key ingredient ratio to keep in mind is 1 part sorrel to 1 part sugar, with a splash of rum or wine for added depth, if desired. This will result in a sweet and tangy jelly, perfect for toast, glazes, or as a gift. Some people find that the jelly makes a great accompaniment to meats, cheeses, and crackers, while others enjoy it as a unique flavor note in sauces and marinades.
