Recommendations for making rosehip juice

Only ripe fruits will do for juice. Rosehip usually ripens in late summer and early autumn. Ripe berries are distinguished by a reddish-red or bright red hue. This color also signals a high concentration of vitamin C.

Rosehip is collected together with sepals. If this is not taken into account, the berries may be damaged during drying.The fruit can be dried immediately after harvest.

It is best to avoid direct sunlight. A dark, well-ventilated room is an ideal place to dry rose hips. An alternative can be an oven preheated to 100 degrees.

  1. In the production of juice, pulp must be present. After all, it is in it that the largest amount of useful vitamins is concentrated. The procedure is as follows:
  2. Fruits are moved and sepals are separated.
  3. The entire mass is washed under cold water, and the seeds are removed.
  4. Rosehip berries dipped in boiling water for a few minutes, and then rubbed through a sieve. Of course, you can resort to a more modern method - use a juicer.
  5. The water, where the rose hips were boiling, is poured into a mass of berries. Sugar is added there in a dosage of 200 g per 1 liter of water.
  6. Juice pasteurization. It lasts 5 minutes. Temperature - 85 degrees.
  7. There are other ways to make rosehip juice. If desired, you can not add sugar and not even pasteurize the juice. Some hostesses prefer to simply pour it into a sterilized jar and roll up the lid. The contents are stored in a dark, cool place. When consumed, honey can be added to rosehip juice.

Someday you should try to make such a juice yourself. Once I bought rosehip syrup at a pharmacy, I thought that I would give it to my little son to strengthen the immune system, and on the label I read about a significant age restriction, as a result of which I changed my mind about doing it.
