That might be a consideration for the future. We're currently in a
rental for at least the next year. I'd hate to just get a start and
never see the fruit. :-)

That's interesting, and I really like dried apricots. As far as the
hibiscus, I used to drink a hibiscus tea at a vegetarian restaurant years
ago. It was delicious. I could imagine combining these for a pie. I'll
look for the roselle juice when I next go to a Latin market. They're
certainly not difficult to find here. I'm sure I could dilute it for a
tea as well.

How did you pie turn out?
