As winter approaches, we stop deadheading to let the roses slow down and store their energy. Many roses form hips, and some are quite decorative. They are full of vitamin C and it is nit uncommon to see Rose Hip Tea in the stores.
But you can also make rose Hip Jam and Jelly. At an upcoming Master volunteer event, Rose Hip Jam made by Terry will be raffled off.
Here’s the step by step procedure to used to make the Jam:
Collect Rose Hips
Boil Rose Hips
Puree Boiled Rose Hips
Strain Pureed Rose Hips
Boil Strained Rose Hip Juice, add lemon juice, pectin and sugar.
Pour in sterilized jars
Boil in pot to seal
Finished Product (it’s actually Jelly not Jam – I always forget the difference)
Recipe loosely based upon this one HERE
