Rose Hip syrup for the winter months
The rose hips foraged the other day have been turned into rose hip syrup mainly and some of the puree is also drying in the dehydrator as fruit leather. Both are excellent sources of vitamin C to be consumed over the next few months to ward off colds and influenza.

ReplyDeleteWhat would you use rosehip syrup for? I fancy a go at making it but don't know what I'd do with it afterwards!
ReplyDeleteIt can be used as a syrup with fruits or puddings - ice cream for instance, or just as it is off a spoon - vitamin C boost to the body, or diluted in water for a drink. It tastes so nice, and is so easy to make so do give it a try.
ReplyDeleteOne tip though is to wear gloves when preparing the hips as they are highly itchy (were/are used in itching powders).
