Introduce the sorrel and ginger used for making sorrel drink.

Soak the sorrel in very hot water for about 2 hours to reduce acidity.

Drain the sorrel and give it a final rinse to remove excess acidity.

Add the soaked sorrel back to the pot along with the ginger and orange peel.

Stir in 3/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of all spice, 1/4 teaspoon of clove powder, and 1 cup of brown sugar.

Add 1/2 cup of sour concentrate for color and flavor.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook on low to medium heat for about 10 minutes.

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding another 1/2 cup of brown sugar if necessary, totaling 1 and 1/2 cups.

Allow the mixture to cool after cooking.

Remove pieces of ginger and orange peel, leaving some inside for flavor.

Process the mixture in a food processor to achieve a coarse texture.
