I know i promised to put the recipe i found in my old mags on here but I can't find again,lol,I'm sure i didn't dream it was in there :confused:

anyway I found one that is the same on the net

http://www.recipezaar.com/Rosehip-Syrup-138588

takes loads of rosehips but with the cracking autumn we're having there should be loads

I also found a recipe for quince marmalade in my old mags while looking through, i remember my gran making this ,was lovely

Quince marmalde:

to each 1lb of quince pulp allow 1lb of demerara sugar.Peel the fruit ,slice it,put it in a preserving pan with just enough liquid ( made fron boiling in water the skins and the cores together for 20 to 30 minutes and allowing to become cold) to cover the bottom of the pan,and stew gently until reduced to a pulp.Replace it in the pan ,add sugar and cook very gently until the marmalade sets when tested on a cold plate

it doesn't say it but jar up in sterile jars

If i come across any other good ones I'll add them...happy cooking :D

lol your'e not daft at all

quinces used to be very popular and alot of old cottage gardens had a tree,round here we have the odd quince tree in fields and my friend still has one in her garden.The tree is very small but can get very fruit heavy,
they look like pears but can be used like apples
