Ingredients

  • 20 g Rose hips, fresh (cleaned and seeded)
  • 10 g Water
  • 12 g Sugar
  • 1 g Lemon juice

Method

  1. Pick ripe, deep red rose hips after the first frost, when they have softened a little. Wearing gloves, cut off the stalks and the dark blossom ends.
  2. Halve the hips, scrape out the seeds and the fine, itchy hairs with the tip of a teaspoon, and rinse them well in a sieve.
  3. Put them in a pot with the water, cover and simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring now and then and adding a little water if they catch, until very soft.
  4. Press the hips through a fine sieve or food mill to remove any skins and hairs that are left.
  5. Return the purée to the pot with the sugar and lemon juice and cook, stirring all the time, for 5-10 minutes until thick; it spits, so use a long spoon.
  6. Fill into hot, clean jars, close them at once and leave to cool. Spread it on bread or Zopf, or use it to fill Linzer biscuits.
