Rosehip Fruit Leather
- 6C Rose Hips (tops off)
- 1/4C Lemon Juice
- 3T Agave
- 3C Water
Mix Hips, Water and Lemon Juice in a blender until pulp is smooth - the seeds will not break down so strain the pulp through a mesh strainer into a large bowl. Add Agave and if you like 1T of ginger or 1t of Cinnamon to pulp and stir well. Pour pulp mixture onto a teflex sheet and place in deydrator. Dry at 105 overnight then peel off teflex and try for another 3 hours. Cut into strips and roll up.

Hello, I've included a link to this post, hope that's ok. Originally I had this photo linked to another site , but I think it is originally yours?
Hi yes, the photos are mine. Linking is fine :)
Wondering about an alternative to Agave? I try to keep things as unprocessed as possible... raw honey?
I think honey would work equally as well - maybe even better. Maybe try 2T of honey as it has a stronger flavour than the agave. I like the idea I'll have to try it with my next batch too!
Hi, this is an intriguing recipe. Did you use whole, fresh rosehips? Do you know what kind? Most rosehips have fine hairs under the skin around the seeds that are irritating to the throat, so I'm curious how your fruit leather worked out and what might have solved the hairs problem.
cheers,

Hi Lus,
What I do is lightly blend the hips (tops off) in my blender with the water and lemon juice until they turn in to a pulp then use as strainer to strain out the seeds. I use Wild Rose (Rosa acicularis) the prickles around the seeds have never been an issue - I've made it several years in a row now - super easy and very tasty :)
Lovely, thanks. Do you think the lemon juice is necessary?
Hello, this recipe looks awesome. I work for a non-profit in Minnesota and we are putting together a cookbook of recipes for indigenous and wild foods. Could we adapted this recipe for it? How can we credit you? Please contact me at clara@dreamofwildhealth.org
Thanks!
