Executive Summary Roselle Jam with Thai Kumquat (Som Jeed) and Ginger : this homemade jam from the Hua Hin Services organic garden combines tart roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) calyxes with zesty Thai kumquat juice and warm fresh ginger, giving a bright, tangy, vividly coloured spread. You need 2 cups of cleaned, chopped roselle calyxes, about 1 cup of kumquats for juicing (roughly 1/3 to 1/2 cup of juice), 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 2 cups of sugar, and optionally 1 tablespoon of Thai lime juice for extra acidity. Combine everything in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring it to a gentle boil, then simmer on low for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and jam-like. Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and cool; it thickens further and keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator. Enjoy it on toast, scones, yogurt, or ice cream.
