Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean the rose hips thoroughly, remove any stems, and cut them open to extract and discard the seeds and inner hairs.
  2. Place the cleaned rose hips in a medium saucepan and add the water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes until the hips are very soft and tender.
  5. Remove the lid and add the sugar and lemon juice to the pot.
  6. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves, then return to a boil.
  7. Boil uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens and the mixture reduces slightly.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the hips to break down further.
  9. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized glass jars, leaving a small headspace at the top.
  10. Seal the jars immediately with sterilized lids and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes for long-term storage, or let cool and refrigerate.
