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. shopping list
- Not easy to harvest but I think it's worth it. shopping list
- 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. shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
