that's the same problem I have trying to make rose hip jelly, getting it
to jell properly. I've found that rose hips, like other members of the
rose family such as apples and haws, are a good source of pectin. But I
don't know the acid content. That's why the recipe calls for added lemon
juice for the acid. I can get a rose and acid fruit jelly that almost
jells but it still won't hold it's shape like a good jelly should, so I've
not put a recipe on my website. I can make a good rose hip wine.
