3
pounds of rose hips
3
pounds of sugar
1
gallon boiling water
Wash the rose hips and cut them in half.
Put them in large bowl and pour boiling water on them.
Stir well with wooden spoon.
Cover bowl and leave for two weeks.
Strain off liquid into another bowl and add three pounds of sugar.
Stir until dissolved.
Cover bowl and leave for 5 days, stirring daily.
Bottle, remembering to cork loosely at first, and store in a cool, dark place.
Push in corks when wine has finished fermenting.
It will be ready to drink in 6 months.
Perhaps this will be a good thing to try or give to my parents one year, after I tell them what it is. I am not the biggest fan of alcohol, but they are, and my mother loves flowers and nature things. I would be willing to make it for them in they were willing to try it and celebrate the occasion with me

ReplyDeleteI also just went out and bought the supplies for this. I always enjoy drinking wine so I am curious as to how this tastes.
