How do you make jam out of a hibiscus?

I am talking about a hibiscus specie called hibiscus rosa-sinensis. What parts of it can be used to make jam and how do you do it? Do you need to extract it or pound it?

How do you make jam out of a hibiscus?
JAM


1 kg of hibiscus fruit - remove the seed pods so just the calyces remain.


Add 3 cups of water and boil until tender, about 20 minutes.


Add the juice of 3 lemons and 1 kg of sugar.


Boil until the mixture thickens, for about 20 minutes.


NOTE: Some Breadmakers make jam and we adapted the ingredients to make jam in the Breadmaker: 500g of chopped calyces; approximately 3 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water; 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of commercial jam setting mixture.





Many recipes recommend covering the seed-pods with water and boiling until soft. This liquid is then strained off and added to the calyxes which are simmered gently until they soften. This is then measured and a cup of sugar is added for each cup of fruit. It is stirred until the sugar is dissolved and then brought to the boil.
