About the dish

Rosehips were a common Norwegian wild plant, used both for soup and juice. Erken uses rosehip puree for ice cream, with sugar syrup and lemon juice.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the rosehip puree

    If you use fresh rosehips, clean them and cook them soft in 3–4 liters of water. Then press them through a fine-mesh strainer.

  2. 2

    Cook the sugar syrup

    Cook the sugar and water into a syrup and let it cool completely. You should have about 6 dl of syrup.

  3. 3

    Mix and freeze

    Mix the syrup with the rosehip puree and the strained lemon juice, and freeze in an ice cream maker or in a mold in the freezer, stirring as it freezes.

Changes from the original

Units are modernized (dl/l/g), and the hair sieve is replaced by a fine-mesh strainer. The amount of lemon juice is estimated at one lemon.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fresh rosehips instead of ready-made puree?
Yes. The recipe counts 1 liter of fresh rosehips as an alternative to 4 deciliters of rosehip puree. The fresh rosehips are cleaned, cooked soft in 3–4 liters of water, and pressed through a fine-mesh strainer.
How do I make the sugar syrup?
Cook 200 grams of sugar with 7 deciliters of water into a syrup, and cool it before you mix in the rosehip puree and strained lemon juice. You should use 6 deciliters of syrup for the ice cream.
Why must the syrup be cooled before mixing it with the puree?
The mixture is to be frozen, and a cold mass freezes more evenly and quickly. Erken refers to the freezing method on page 504 in "Stor kokebok" (1914).
