Sorrel Jam

Directions

1. 1
   Pick the leaves off some sorrel that has been growing in the sun.
2. 2
   Sorrel looks similar to another plant called Japanese dock, so keep that in mind.
3. 3
   In this photo, the Japanese dock leaf is on the top, with the sorrel leaf below.
4. 4
   (Japanese dock is edible as well.)
5. 5
   Mince up the sorrel leaves.
6. 6
   (This can be done roughly, and it's also possible to make the jam without chopping them at all.)
7. 7
   Add the minced sorrel leaves to a saucepan with the sugar and a small amount of water and simmer it down.
8. 8
   The resulting jam may look a little dangerous but it's fine!
9. 9
   It has a delicious bittersweet flavor.
