Since Multiflora Rose is an invasive species here in NEPA, I figured I'd get some use out of it by attempting to make jelly from the hips.

Ingredients:
About 1 1/2 cups Rose hips
Water
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbs pectin
3 tsp. Lemon juice (optional)
Directions:

  • Wash the hips and remove as much of the stems as possible, then place in a sauce pan and cover with water.
  • Crush the hips and let them simmer for about 15 minutes before draining off the juice.
  • You can cover the hips with water a second time and let them simmer again to get more juice.
  • you should end up with at least 1 1/3 cups of juice.
  • Place the juice in a large enough sauce pan along with the pectin and lemon juice if you desire. Put the stove at medium heat and stir constantly.
    -Once the juice has been boiling for a minute, add the sugar and continue to stir until it is boiling again.
  • Let them mixture boil for at least a minute, then transfer to sanitized jars immediately.
  • You should end up with 2 half-pint jars and a quarter-pint jars.
    -Enjoy!
