SC - Spices and sensitive palates

[Varju@aol.com]

Hallo folks!

I tried this on rec.food.historic, but no one had any ideas except tea and
modern jelly for me.

I have a large number of wild rose hips growing, and I'd like to harvest
them and do something.I've been bitten by that "preserve for the winter"
bug. Someone once lent me a source that had "A Tarte of Hyppes" in it, but I
can't track it down now. Do any of you have any other ideas? This sounds
like a Ras or Esko question, but other answers are good, too.

It's my sneaky way of getting vitamin c to my cold-ravaged kids. It was 28
degrees in my front yard this morning, here in the
Northern-Poconos-meet-the-Catskills area. We've already had more than our
share of school-transmitted colds and flu (not to mention the kid who gave
us chicken pox). If I tell my little girls I'm making something out of
roses, they'll go wild! Corinne might actually eat it (a miracle in itself).
She loves foraged food, for some reason.

And, by the way, can I plant the seeds in the spring? These are genuine wild
climbing roses, not domestic roses gone to seed. 

Thanks in advance.

Aoife.
