rosehips?

[YPants]

they're kinda sorta popular here in sweden, but i'm sure they're not indigenous. they're mostly used to make a sweet soup in which you crumble almond biscuits and whipped cream. i adore them, but i haven't seen them used anywhere - no cooking shows, cook books, e-recipes, anywhere really.

can they be found in the states? have you ever used them?

They are here, wherever roses are grown. I've heard some people dry them to make rosehip tea. I made rosehip jelly a few years ago. It was pretty good, a very delicate flavor.

Here (in the Netherlands) rosehip jelly and jam is readily available and quite popular. I love the flavor of rosehips but I´ve never seen fresh ones for sale... could be one of those things that you only get fresh if you have a garden or know someone with a rosehip bush in their garden!

I've used them to make a rose hip mead!

sounds awesome, how was it?

i'm gonna try a rosehip parfait. i was thinking i'll make it as a regular berry parfait, but maybe i should increase the measurement of rosehips because of the kinda mild flavor. dunno, trip report to come
