RE: Rose hips and musings on preserving fruit
Rose hips do look like tomatoes don't they? How about using honey? Or raw cane sugar or brown sugar, something healthier than white sugar? Although they are still sugar, but at least a healthier sugar maybe? Hehe.
In order to make a jam you need to boil the fruit until it sets so sugar is normally used, @marblely. I tend to use the golden colour sugar anyway rather than the more refined variety. Honey would be okay for 'raw' fruit I guess though it would be a bit overwhelming for my taste.
Do you like jam ? Which flavour ?
Ah ok.. Seems interesting to make jam. Do you have to wait long before the fruit sets? Ooo yes I do.. after trying a few like marmalade, peach, raspberry, blueberry, I still like strawberry (with scones... yummm).
Oh, will you be joining @ivan-g's boat making giveaway? https://steemit.com/origami/@ivan-g/origami-boat
2 more days to go. Come come!
It is an interesting process and I'm not that familiar with it because I have to avoid a lot of sugar @marblely ... From what I know some fruit takes much longer but you can add extra pectin.
I think I'm too late for the boat challenge now ... but I'll enter even if late :D
As an update I have now uploaded two little boats for @ivan-g, thank you @marblely :D
Hehe yay! It is not late yet, still a few more hours to go before the post payout.. I haven't posted mine but will do soon :)
