Ingredients

Rose hips are the berry looking fruits left behind after the rose bloom has died.

Not easy to harvest but I think it's worth it.

You don't have to seed them but some people have an adverse reaction to them upon exit of the digestive system if you don't.

Directions

I have access to both Rugosa varieties of roses and beach roses. I like the Rugosa better.

They kind of taste like cranberry.

I pick, wash, rub them with a rough towel to dry which gets rid of any yuck, seed them and throw them in the food dehydrator to dry.

Depending on whether I harvest pre or post frost it usually takes a day or two to dry them to my liking.

They are an extremely good source of Vitamin C.

You can use them in a variety of ways while cooking.

They are most commonly found in tea, soups, stews, pies, breads and jams.

You must use non-reactive cookware when cooking with rose hips.

Yep, I posted a Rosehip Tea recipe here. Did you know they are a main ingredient of Red Zinger tea? And you can use either Rose Water or Rosehip concentrate with strawberries. Like for a strawberry cheesecake recipe I am working on now.

Thanks so much for posting this - great minds, as they say.
