Rose Hip Jelly Recipe
Ingredients
- Cluster Colourama or Trailblazer rose hips
- Water
- Jam sugar
Method
- Put the halved rose hips into a preserving pan.
- Cover with cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until the hips are mushy. (You can also add a couple of chopped apples – no need to peel or core them – to help with setting the jelly.)
- Strain the liquid through a piece of muslin or a jelly bag. Don't be tempted to squeeze the liquid out of the fruit as this will cause your jelly to be cloudy.
- When all the liquid has passed through the bag, measure the juice and put it into a clean pan.
- Bring to the boil, add 1 lb (500g) of sugar for each pint (½ litre) of liquid, boil until setting point (105°C/220°F) is reached. Use a jam thermometer or the 'wrinkle' test to check.
- Pour into clean warmed jars, and cover.
- Label, then store in a cool cupboard.
