In the next small town one way from us, we stopped in a small grocery, bakery, deli store.. Sweetie found a jar of rose hip spread, jam... A product of Croatia.
Very dense fine fruit pulp, a small bit of tart to it. Actually very good and not any more expensive than most jams. I think there is commercial made tea made with that. Have not tried it or tried to make homemade tea.... Yet...
We use a lot of wild rose hips in our chicken and rabbit feed. We have all the relatives that can pick and freeze wild rose hips in season for us. Works out well as a nutrient supplement for critters.
Wild rose is an invasive plant here. I do my best to brush hog mow it as often as I can in the pastures and such. There is still a lot of it in the bush I can't get to.
Anyone done anything with rose hips from a cooking, baking angle ??

No, made tea since it is high in vitamen C, good for colds and winter yuckies.

I've only had them in tea, but a quick google search tells me that Rose Hip Jam and Rose Hip Jelly recipes abound!
