Yes you have to wash them first then pull all outer petal off and give a good wash, then cut or put whole (weigh first) in saucepan then cook basically as you would for strawberry jam. Same quantity of rosella and sugar for a sweeter jam or for slightly deep rosella tasty jam use 3/4 amount of sugar. Bottle as you would normally. You can use jam setter if required.
