 Minced rose hips boiled in sugared water, strained and reduced. A syrup for diluting to make a drink, or a sauce for plain puddings or ices.  Gloucester Citizen - Thursday 15 January 1942 During WWII children were paid 3d per lb to collect rose hips as a source of much-needed vitamin C. The officially approved receipt for syrup allowed 2 lbs of minced hips boiled with 3 pints of water, very thoroughly strained, then boiled down to 11/2 pints with 11/4 lbs of sugar. Care has to be taken to remove the irritating little hairs from rose hips - they are the source of commercial joke itching powder.  See also: Rose Hip Jelly Rose Hip Syrup Rosehip Tarte  |
