Rose Hip Jelly
My wife made jelly from rose hips 28 years ago, and now we cant find the
recipe. Would you please give us yours? I remember a clear jelly that had a rose flavor, she remembers mixing it with another fruit juice to make the Jelly. We could both be right, but that is a long time to try to remember. Thanks in advance. Dwayne |

Pelargonium) in the bottom of a jar and pour apple jelly over, then can as usual. Some rose geraniums are so engineered that they don't smell too rosy, ya gotta be picky about the variety you use. Regular geraniums won't do it. Edrena |

Entirely different thing than what the OP was asking about.

What my mother used to make was more of a marmalade--a clear jelly (flavored from the rosehips) with chunks of rosehips suspended in it. As far as a jelly, is it possible that lemon juice was the added fruit juice? <http://www.recipegal.com/other/RoseHipJelly.htm> Rose Hip Jelly 8 cups of rose hips 6 cups of water 1 box of certo 1/2 cup lemon juice 5 cups of sugar Boil the rose hips for 10 - 15 min. until soft enough to crush. Crush them and squeeze through cloth, to make juice. For every 4 cups of juice add one box of certo and bring to a boil. Add the 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 5 cups of sugar (1/2 tsp. of marg to prevent foam). Buing to a boil and boil hard for 2 min. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized jars and seal with caps and rings. The jelly has a wonderful flavor and is the consistency of liguid honey. -- to respond (OT only), change "spamless.invalid" to "optonline.net" <http://www.thecoffeefaq.com/> |

I'm so mad I could spit. <after a hard pruning, it seems that the bushes will recover> |

These are > rosehips: > <http://www.wildcrafting.com/OldWildCraft/album1/RoseHips.jpg> An apple jelly with either rose petals or scented geraniums is very likely to produce a clear jelly that tastes faintly of roses. Rosehip jelly won't taste of roses - unless you add rose petals from one or the other strongly scented rose (damascena, gallica, rugosa ...), or rose geranium leaf ('Attar of Roses' after a summer in full sun, mmmmmm!), of course.

Scott ) writes: >...the consistency of liguid honey. 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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
