    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? :noidea: 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.

      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 :noidea:
