Ingredients:
4 cups fresh rose-hips
8 cups water
2 cups honey
Method:
Clean and roughly chop the rose- hips and put them into a pot. Add eight cups of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for around 15 minutes.
Strain the liquid through a muslin or cheese cloth, reserving the liquid, but discarding the rose-hips.
Transfer the liquid to a clean pot and add the honey. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey. Simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency.
Pour into clean, sterile containers and store in a cool place. Proceed cautiously, as I have known this to start fermenting, which can lead to exploding containers.
