🇹🇹 Sorrel Pepper Jelly Recipe by Chef Jeremy Lovell | Foodie Nation

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers a natural sweetness while brown sugar can be more cost-effective.

apple cider vinegar

🥗Healthier: white vinegar

💰Cheaper: distilled vinegar

White vinegar is often less expensive and provides similar acidity.

jalapeño peppers

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Banana peppers are milder and more affordable.

pectin

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Cornstarch can thicken the jelly but may alter texture.

Add water and dry sorrel flowers to a pot.

Add bay leaf, hot pepper, cinnamon stick, clove powder, spice powder, celery, tomato, onion, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and white sugar to the pot.

Cover the pot and bring everything to a boil for about 2 minutes.

Lower the heat and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes to soften the sorrel flowers.

Remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick from the mixture before blending.

Blend the mixture until smooth, covering the blender with a cloth to prevent pressure build-up from the heat.

Add cornstarch to the blended mixture and blend again to thicken.

Pour the mixture into a container and cover it, then refrigerate.
