[Johnna Holloway]

We have so far:

Alys suggesting- Good Huswife's Handmaide -- Tarte of Hippes from 1594
also Robert May Tart also 1615
also MWBC Tarte of Hipps -Tudor-Jacobean

Ranvaig supplied Rumpolt's Confect 29 which is a preserve
plus other confect recipes from the same chapter.

I did a search on Medieval Cookery.com and found these recipes:

This is an excerpt from The Good Housewife's Jewell
(England, 1596) To make a Tarte of hippes. Take Hippes and cutte them,  
and take the seedes out, and wash them verye cleane, and put them into  
your Tarte, and season them with suger, sinamon and ginger.

So you must preserve them with suger, Cinamon and Ginger, and put them  
into a gelly pot close.

This is an excerpt from A Book of Cookrye
(England, 1591) Take Hippes and washe them, and boyle them in Claret  
wine, and straine them through a strainer, season them with Sinamon,  
ginger and Sugar, and make your paste, and fill it with the same stuffe.

This is an excerpt from Fourme of Curye [Rylands MS 7]
(England, 1390)

.lxxxij. Sauce sarzyne. Tak heppes & make hem clene, tak almaundes  
blaunched, fry hem in oyle & bray hem in a morter with heppes, drawe  
it up with gode red wyne & do therinne suger ynowgh with poudour fort,  
lat it be stondyng and lay it with poudre of rys & colour hit with  
alkenet and messe hit forth, & florysche hit with poume garnet, if  
thou wolt in flesch day: seeth capouns & tak the brawne & tese hym  
smal & do therto & make the lycoure of rys broth.

(There are 5 other recipes for Sauce Saracen that are linked to this  
one.)

 From the Concordance- I can add

Heppee  Rosehips in Pottage  from UC 37 (91)   1395 which reads

37 For to make an heppee. Take heppes & pyke out ye stones &

ye regges aboute hem, wasch ] hem, & braye hem. & tak ye broth of  
fresch beef or

of capounes & tempre hem vp withal & seth hem, & salte hem, &

do yerto sugre & dresch it in disches & do ye heppe floures aboue

& serve it forth manerliche.

Hieatt & Butler. Curye on Inglysch, page 91.

Hope this helps
