Rose Hip Syrup

Thanks Ziggy, yes i had noticed them more this year for some reason or maybe my six sense is drawing me to see them and telling me i need them for my health Will have a go at making some, was making homemade organic soap yesterday for the first time, really enjoyed that

 

Thanks for that reminder to read up more on it Clueless, did read some of the reviews, heres the link i was reading....Rosehip 6000mg | Maximum Strength - Simply Supplements

 

Once you've tasted it, you'll be making it every year Caz

Soap? Did you use the fat of a roadkilled Badger?

 

No didn't make my own compound Ziggy, bought that from the craft shop it complys with UK cosmetic products safety regulations and Certified organic to soil Association standards, the soaps i made was my own design, i used seeds, petals and organic oils

 

Ahh, right, i'm with you. Very nice.

Forgot to mention that last year I made Candied Apple Rings using rosehip syrup as a starter. Daughters loved em.

 

Can this be done with the hips from Rosa Rugosa? I planted a few along my back fence and they have cherry tomato sized hips on them. Would be great to put them to good use (as well as allowing the birds their treats)

 

Yep, no poisonous plants in the rose family as far as I know.

 

Thank you, Zigs

 

Will do; I was only talking to Mr Mum about rose hip syrup the other day. I can remember my mother giving us a daily spoonful throughout winter. Can't recall if she made her own though

 

Just watched this on the BBC Ear Player,

Great programme, got a rose hip syrup making session in the middle, but worth watching the whole thing
