Excited discovery: Rosehips' versatility delights me, fitting perfectly in my fall cooking plans
In the world of gardening and culinary delights, rosehip syrup stands out as a versatile and flavourful addition to various dishes and drinks. This article will walk you through the process of making rosehip syrup, the best roses for harvesting, and the ways to use this delightful syrup.
Firstly, it's important to know that the best roses for rosehips are in bloom until early fall. If you're planning to forage for rosehips, a dependable basket is an essential tool.
The method for making rosehip syrup is straightforward. Wash and chop the rosehips, then boil them in water for about 20 minutes. Strain the mixture, discard the solids, and heat the liquid with sugar until it dissolves completely. Decant the finished syrup into sterilized bottles, seal them, and use the syrup within 4 months.
For those seeking high-quality cooking equipment, Le Creuset is recommended as a Dutch oven. Weck Jars, on the other hand, are suitable for batch-preparing syrups and juices.
Rosehip syrup is not just limited to sweetening your morning porridge or pancakes. It can also enhance the flavour of mojitos and gin and tonics, or be combined with apple juice to create a non-alcoholic cordial. However, specific recipes for these uses are not provided in this article.
