Rose hips from Rotorua

My sister has been waiting ofr the pruning of the roses before sending me some hips... aren't they beautiful?
I think I'll try making a recipe from the 1600's for a Rose Hip Tart - although I prefer a sponge top for fruit ...

Hi Christine , one of my favorite food memories is creamy rice pudding served with a pool of pink rosehip syrup on the top....have you tried rosehip syrup?

thank you for that - no, I haven't - and the rose hips were beyond saving unfortunately, so can't even make some to try!
