Hip, Hip Hooray!!!

A hedgerow harvest; beautiful bright rosehip berries make simple cheerful decorations for indoor arrangements and door wreaths. If you have the patience rosehips, rich in vitamin C, also make delicious jellies and syrups, though they are best left, first softened before being left suspended in a jellybag overnight, their delicious juices do drip through. A daily spoonful of rosehip syrup is said to ward of colds in the wintertime, but its also delicious on deserts and drinks.
