Apple-Rosehip Jam

MAKES TWO 8-OUNCE JARS

I make this jam in the late summer when the rosehip berries are in season and plentiful. My grandmother used to always make a big batch and give some to everyone in the family. I think it’s particularly good in the morning with yogurt and granola or on a piece of toasted bread. It’s also great with cheese.


3 cups apple chunks with skin left on (sweet red-skinned apples work well)

1 cup rosehip berries, stems and seeds removed

1½ cups cane sugar

½ cup water

Two 8-ounce jam jars

Sterilize two jars by washing them thoroughly and putting them in a pot of water and boiling for 10 minutes. Put the lids and bands in a pot, and let the water simmer. Dry everything thoroughly with a clean paper towel.

Cook all the ingredients together in a pot and let simmer for about 1 hour, until the texture turns jammy and there are still chunks of fruit left. Pour into the jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
