Ingredients
- 1kg rosehip, cleaned
- 3 cups water
- ½ lemon
- 750g sugar
Method
Step 1
In a large pot, add the rosehip buds and the water and bring to the boil.
Step 2
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until the buds are broken down and the consistency is that of a soft puree.
Step 3
Using a strainer or vegetable mill, strain the mixture to separate the pulp and the seeds. Discard the seeds. Weigh the pulp and add to a pot with sugar of the same weight. Add lemon juice and bring to the boil.
Step 4
The consistency of the jam will be determined by the boiling time – the longer it boils, the thicker the jam. Once sticky and thick, pour the jam into sterilised jars and seal.
