About the dish

Erken recommends rosehip puree as a practical way to preserve rosehips: the color turns finer than with drying, and the puree is immediately ready for soup, cream, or ice cream.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Grind the rosehips

    Wash the ripe rosehips and grind them once.

  2. 2

    Cook

    Put the rosehips in a pot with the water and cook for about 2 hours. Stir the mass often.

  3. 3

    Press

    When enough water has steamed off that the mass is fairly thick, press the rosehip pulp through a fine-mesh strainer.

  4. 4

    Fill and sterilize

    Fill the puree into jars and sterilize at 90 °C (195 °F) for 30 minutes.

Changes from the original

"Haarsigt" (hair sieve) is modernized to a fine-mesh strainer, and "ground once" to grinding the rosehips once. The steps are numbered; the quantities are kept.

Frequently asked questions

How long should the rosehips cook?
The rosehips are ground once and cooked with the water for about 2 hours. Stir often during cooking so the mass does not stick.
How is the puree sterilized and stored?
The mass is pressed through a fine-mesh strainer when enough water has evaporated that it is fairly thick. The pulp is filled into jars and sterilized at 90 °C for 30 minutes.
Why make puree instead of drying the rosehips?
According to the recipe, rosehips stored this way take on a much finer color than dried ones, and the puree is ready for quick use in soup, cream, ice cream, and the like.
What ingredients are needed?
Only 1 kg of ripe, washed rosehips and 2 liters of water. The recipe is from Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914), p. 595.
