Sorrel...will it come back each year?
Comments (10)Sorrel soup: in 2 quarts of good stock, cook 1 lb of peeled baking potatoes and one peeled onion until tender. Add seasonings to taste (I add salt and chili). Stem the sorrel leaves (two handfuls) and make sure everyone is at the table because things must proceed fast from this point on. Drop two cups of the stock mixture in the blender, and half the leaves. Blend IMMEDIATELY. If you do it right, the soup will be bright green, with no discernible sorrel bits. If you do it wrong, waiting until the leaves change color, the soup will be somewhat gray and flecked with cooked sorrel bits. Pour in a bowl, repeat with the rest of the soup. Serve immediately, IMHO best with croutons (old bread diced and baked in the oven until golden) and olive oil. If you use wax potatoes, they are gluey enough that they may wreck the blender. It has happened to me....See MoreHAVE: Recipe for herb sauce

Comments (14)LOL, was the plant where deer could get to it? I have deer crossing my yard regularly here and they LOVE it! Had to move it into the fenced in portion of the yard where my dogs are to prevent the deer from eating it all (The dogs have a lot of trees to 'mark' so the herbs are safe.) It is a perennial by the way--I started out with one small plant in '06. It came back in '07--with 4 'crowns', which I divided into 4 plants. This year it came back again and I separated it into several more, so I now have about 10, looking a little like green hostas....See MoreJamaican Sorrel (Roselle)
Comments (9)There are seed packets available through most of the herb companies. It is mostly sold under the name Roselle. You can also find the seeds available through companies that sell to Indian and Pakistani communities - they often call it Sour Leaf. You can find it in the Hispanic communities often called Jamaica (the "j" pronounced like an "h"). It is the key ingredient in Red Zinger Tea that you can find in the herbal tea isle of your grocery store. Easy to sprout, easy to grow if you have hot weather. You can probably just follow the growing rules for okra. For me in NC they don't start to flower until the very end of the summer and often not until early fall. Cool nights will slow them down. Frosts will kill them. I imagine you could cut the blooming stems and bring them inside the house and get a few to mature. The calyx swells after the flower dies. They sometimes taste like cranberry but can be a bit stringy. They make a good jelly....See Morelizzieswellness
