What Are Rose Hips Recipe
Recently I was sharing some info about making my own herbal teas with my new food buddy :thegoldminer" and he suggested I post this information. Said some people might find it useful. I will post a few recipes I have for using them too.

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
  1. I have access to both Rugosa varieties of roses and beach roses. I like the Rugosa better.
  2. They kind of taste like cranberry.
  3. 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.
  4. Depending on whether I harvest pre or post frost it usually takes a day or two to dry them to my liking.
  5. They are an extremely good source of Vitamin C.
  6. You can use them in a variety of ways while cooking.
  7. They are most commonly found in tea, soups, stews, pies, breads and jams.
  8. 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.


Thank you.
