Ingredients
- HOUNDS ROSE HIP JELLY
- 500 g hounds rose hips
- 2 apples
- approximately 400g sugar
Preparation
Step 1
are something like a wonder drug. They have more than 100 times as much Vitamin C than lemons. Mostly known for being used in tea – they make a great jelly. Personally I know it the best being an awesome itching powder! The seeds inside are covered with tiny hair – if you stuff that under somebodies shirt he will be scratching his skin for hours. Probably nothing you should do when you are older than 10 :)
Anyway – in most rose hip recipes you need to carefully scratch out the seeds and hairs before using it. Since you gonna strain this mixture through a fine mesh anyway – go ahead and just leave them whole! Saves you a lot of time – and itchy fingers.
This rose hip jelly is fantastic on toast, or to accompany roast meat – or added into your home baking. Rose hips contain pectin – so no need to add any. If you add sugar and boil the juice for a while it will start to get a jelly all by itself!
