Back in October, I noticed in the foraging groups people had started making Rosehip Syrup, so armed with a carrier bag, scissors and some gloves I tracked around town picking from every rosehip bush I saw. Sometimes before the sun had even risen, to gather enough rosehips to make this syrup.

It is worth noting that Rose Hips come in a variety of different shapes and sizes depending on whether they are from a Wild Rose also known as a Dog Rose or a cultivated rose.

It doesn't look like a lot bit it took some gathering.

To make the Syrup I followed the recipe I found online at https://www.whatdadcooked.com/recipe/rosehip-syrup-foraged-wild-dog-rose-hips/

I went for the cooking of the rosehips as opposed to other recipes where people were steeping them in Jar with Sugar.

One thing I will say it was messy! I used a pillowcase as I had no muslin cloth, needless to say, the pillowcase will not be going back on the bed as it is now a pinky-orange tint to it!

I drank some of the Rosehip Syrup with Processo and it made a lovely drink and packed full of vitamins as well.

I have heard people use Rosehip Syrup to stave off coughs and colds and I am not surprised reading all of the health benefits. Apparently it is also used for rheumatoid arthritis as well as reducing pain in knee and hip osteoarthritis.
