The Jamaican Sorrel is ready to bloom! (You might know it as Roselle or Florida Cranberry) This member of the hibiscus family has several important uses in Caribbean cooking. The base of each pink flower swells into a fleshy red fruit ...used for tea, jam, or the traditional holiday punch. Also, young leaves and stems can be cooked as a vitamin-rich vegetable. Our young plants are quite tall, but their full potential could be 7'-8'.
And the favorite cousin to Sorrel is Cranberry Hibiscus, which we have for sale this week, as well. Herbs are in good supply, lemon grass is tall and lush, hot peppers are numerous, annual flowers are colorful. It will be a busy sales week "on the hill".
We'll be set up as usual from 9-2 @ 11050 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont
