Rosehip Jam
Rosehip jam is a traditional Romanian preserve with a deep red-orange color and a sweet-tart, subtly floral flavor. Rosehips — the fruit of the wild rose bush — are exceptionally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Prepared after removing the seeds and inner hairs, rosehips cooked with sugar and lemon produce a jam with a distinctive aroma, delicious on bread, in teas, or as a dessert ingredient.

💡Variations
Combine rosehips with quince (50/50) for a more gelatinous texture and a more complex flavor.
Add 1 tsp freshly grated ginger for a spiced note that complements the subtly floral aroma of rosehips.
Use brown sugar or cane sugar for a more caramelized flavor and added depth.
