Do you know you can make jam with thses "fruits"? I posted about them (my photo was not so nice than yours!), some weeks ago and Leena (from Finland) told me this jam was very famous in Finland and very rich with vitamins.
And many years ago, kids knew that one opened and slipped (?) under a pullover is terribly itchy! Many teachers have a hot memory about it...

Alice: Nice to 'see' you again, and thank you for the comment. The Wiki entry I link to mentions the various uses, and yes, jams and marmalades seem to be common uses. We have the tea with hibiscus (though I don't drink it much) and it is such an amazing red color. Maybe I need to post a photo. I'll be by to look at your page soon, been a bit wrapped up with things.
