I've made a lot of jelly, but today I made my first batch of rosehip jelly. It's not bad in flavour but not as special as I had hoped. I used a variety of rosehip growing in the hedgerows which is quite orange when ripe. I neglected to photograph the hips but here is a photo of what the extract looked like when boiling in "phase 2" of making the jelly: . As you can see, the jelly has a soft honey-like colour. Here is a photo of the finished jelly: .

I've picked a second lot of rosehips which are smaller and of a cranberry red colour when ripe. I will try making these and comparing the taste of the two. These I did photograph: . Hopefully the colour and taste of the finished jelly will be pleasing.
