‘Tis the season to use sorrel! When many hear the name sorrel, what comes to mind is the festive beverage consumed especially during the Christmas season. But there is more to sorrel than just a refreshing drink. From appetiser to main course to dessert to beverage, sorrel is a versatile product of Mother Nature. It may be used for sorrel beer, sorrel wine, sorrel fruit cake, sorrel pudding, sorrel vinaigrette, sorrel jam or as a salad garnish.
There are so many ways to add it to your Holiday menu this year.
Sorrel Drink is a mixture of the sorrel fruit, ginger, cloves and pimento seeds; it is either boiled or steeped. Sugar and the optional rum and red wine are later added to make a refreshing beverage.
Who said sorrel is only for Christmas? Tru-Juice Premium Quality Juices makes it available all year round! Using local sorrel and brewed just like grandma made it, this TRU refreshing taste is at your fingertips ready to consume. Available in package sizes of 340ml, 473ml and 1.75L, Tru-Juice Sorrel is that authentic ingredient for a wonderful experience.
Many enjoy pairing the drink with a slice of fruit cake but the drink can be consumed alongside just about anything.
Sorrel Tea. Some like it cold but many also like it hot. Sorrel tea is a popular trend on the market and marketers of the infusion promote the antioxidant factors found in the plant. Apart from the usual teabags, the dried sorrel option is also available. Just add hot water and sweeten as desired.
Sorrel Kutchela, a pickle or chutney made from sorrel is a precious commodity to many Trinidadians. Like other chutneys, this spicy condiment can be enjoyed alongside just about anything.
Sorrel Sauce and Glaze. Bring your holiday meat dishes alive with a sorrel glaze or sauce, using the glaze on ham, other roasted meats and fish, or choosing to create a stuffing. How does sorrel and pineapple glazed pork chops sound to you? Yum!
Another option is to add sorrel leaves to boiled fish stock, wine and cooking cream. Cook for a few seconds. Remove from heat. Add some butter, while stirring, until completely incorporated. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. And voilà!
This form of stuffing is ideal for fish but may be used with other meat kinds; just be sure to replace the fish stock with broth from the meat type being prepared.
Sorrel Cheese Cake. For the dessert lovers, this one is definitely for you! A modest amount of sorrel juice (and pulp, if desired) is added to the cheesecake batter. Top this off with a garnish of caramelised sorrel fruit or a sauce or made with sorrel jam and pulp.
