Jam/Sauce

2 1/2 cups prepped roselle

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1T cornstarch, tapioca starch, or other starch (optional, makes it more like a jam than a sauce)

Add the roselle, water, and sugar to a medium saucepan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the roselle pieces are all softened. If you want to use it as is, you can, just let it cool down. A great substitute for cranberry sauce! If you want more of a jam consistency, add the 1T of starch mixed in with a little water to dissolve, and simmer for 2 more minutes or until thickened. let cool and refrigerate. Ours was in the fridge for about a week and a half before we used it up, we used it as jam. I think it would taste great mixed with applesauce as well!
