About the dish

An uncooked rosehip jam that takes days but little work. The book does not give the amount of hips (x kg).

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the hips

    Wash the firm, ripe hips, dry them, halve them and remove the seeds.

  2. 2

    Let them soften

    Put the hips straight into a crock. Do not wash them now. Cover and keep warm for 4 days. Stir morning and evening.

  3. 3

    Mix with sugar

    When the hips are soft, add the sugar and stir or mix well. It does not matter if the sugar has not melted completely.

  4. 4

    Jar and store

    Put into jars, screw on the lids and place in a good cellar. Note: The jam is not cooked. Store cool, and keep opened jars in the refrigerator.
