Ever wondered what happens when apples and hibiscus get together for a jam session? Well, they decided to take their pulp-tastic party to the next level! You see, these apples were juiced and left their 'pulpy' squad behind, feeling a bit 'jammed' without a purpose. So, they called upon their floral friend, hibiscus, for a fun-tastic fruity fiesta in a jar!

I'll take any insults thrown at my jam honestly, because I can almost agree they all point towards'rebel jam' made from leftover pulp! I was not entirely confident about recycling for flavor, considering how squeezed-out apple remnants can get, especially with a heavy-duty juicer involved, but now here we are, a jammin' sensation!

As a pointer, you could actually opt out of the lemon juice, as the hibiscus tang took care of the acidity we all appreciate in a good jam. It's not just any jam; it's the result of an 'apple-solutely' wild collaboration! Spread this on your toast, and let the fruity dance party begin in your mouth!

Remember, cooking should be fun, and sometimes the most incredible creations come from unexpected combinations! Enjoy your playful apple pulp hibiscus jam adventure and come back for a review as the goody old fella that you are!
