Rose Hip Syrup

Rose Hip Syrup


1. Crush the rosehips (I use a blender) and put into 3 UK pints (or 7.25 cups) of boiling water.

2. Bring back to boil and then remove from the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes

3. Strain through a jelly bag and when the dripping stops, return the 'mash' with another 1½ UK pints (or 3.6 cups) of boiling water.

4. Re-boil and allow to stand as before, strain. Pour both extracts into a clean pan and boil until the liquid measures 1½ pints (3.6 cups).

5. Add 1lb sugar.

6. Stir over gentle heat until sugar dissolves, and then boil for 5 minutes.

7. Pour into hot bottles, seal.
