Therapeutic recipes from the Rosehip fruits

A healthy Rosehips fruit can be prepared into a variety of delicious products at home. Those who don't enjoy drinking medicinal rosehip infusions and decoctions can make delicious drinks (syrups and teas), preserves, jams, and fudge using the recipes provided.

To prepare various therapeutic Rosehip recipes, you'll need to peel the rosehips and rinse them under running water. Select the largest rosehips, cut them in half, and remove the seeds and hairs (rinse under running water). Fresh rosehips prepared in this way can be used to prepare a variety of medicinal dishes.

Rosehip syrup

This rosehip syrup has versatile uses: it can be used to make teas, infusions, and fruit drinks. To make rosehip syrup, grind 36 ounces of peeled rosehips prepared as described in the instructions in a meat grinder or blender, but not to a pulp, just until finely chopped. Pour 43 ounces of water over the mixture and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then add 36 ounces of sugar, stir thoroughly until the sugar crystals dissolve in the water, and continue simmering for 20-25 minutes.

Let the fruit steep for 15 minutes after removing from the heat, strain, and pour into bottles or jars with airtight lids. This syrup can be stored like regular canned food. The syrup can be used to make drinks by adding it to tea (vitamin tea) or water (fruit drink). Rosehip syrup can also be used to add to fruit, berry, or vegetable salads and sauces. It can also be added to creams, ice cream, and cocktails. The remaining fruit after straining can be added to tea or various salads.

Rosehip Jam

To make rosehip jam, you'll need 36 ounces of peeled Rosehips, 24.8 ounces of sugar, 17.8 ounces of water for cooking, and then 8.8 ounces of water for making the jam itself. Cover the peeled Rosehips with water and simmer until soft. Strain the hips (reserve the cooking water, as it will be used later) and grind them in a meat grinder or blender (but not to a pulp). Pour the remaining cooking water (only 8.8 ounces) into the container in which you'll be making the jam, and add sugar. Simmer the sugar syrup until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the crushed rosehips. Cook the mixture until the Rosehips are fully cooked and thick, then pour into glass jars, pasteurize in boiling water for 20 minutes, and seal with airtight lids.

To make jam with fruits pieces, not preserves, Rosehips do not need to be ground in a blender or meat grinder; then, when cooked, the jam will contain halves fruits Rosehips.

Rosehip Pomade

Rosehip icing is a great way to decorate homemade cakes, pastries, sweets, and cookies. It's made using existing Rosehip jam. To make Rosehip icing, use 17.8 ounces of Rosehip jam and 3.5 ounces of potato starch. Mix the jam and starch until smooth. If you don't add water, the mixture will harden and turn into a candy. However, to make the icing spreadable, add water (1.8 ounces -2.4 ounces) to the jam and starch mixture and heat over low heat or in a double boiler, stirring constantly to distribute the ingredients evenly. When the mixture becomes thinner than the jam itself, use it to coat the surface of cakes, pastries, sweets, or cookies. It can also be spread on bread, buns, or pancakes. After a while, the fondant will harden and turn into a brown glaze.

Pink sugar from Rosehip flowers

Rosehip petals are also beneficial for health, but to avoid making infusions, you can make aromatic Rosehip petal sugar and add it to tea, coffee, cocktails, milk, yoghurt, or simply water. To make rosehip petal sugar, you'll need fresh rosehip petals and sugar. In a small glass jar, alternately pour a 1.2-inch-thick layer of sugar and a 1.2-inch-thick layer of rosehip petals. All layers should be tightly packed until the jar is full, and then sealed with an airtight screw-on lid. Store the jar in a dark place to prevent the petals from fading. After 2-4 days, the sugar will acquire the color and aroma of Rosehip petals and can be used in tea, water, cocktails, and other drinks. Cakes or pastries sprinkled with this sugar will also look decorative.
