Roseberry and Apple Jam
Dear Aunt Daisy, I thought you may be interested in my recipe for "Roseberry: Jam" made from the berries (hips, as they are called) from the wild roses (sweet briars). This recipe was given to me when I-was visiting Australia three years ago. One day, my friends said, "We will pack our lunch and go out for the day and gather ‘hips’." Of course, I wondered what these so-called "hips" were; and they were surprised that I did not know. I said I did not think they were used in New Zealand. I now make the jam every year, and it is delicious. Here is the recipe. Rosekorry Jam.-Gather the berries (hips), from the wild roses (sweet (Continued on next page)

Also stew some apples in a very little water. Boil together 1 cup of roseberry pulp, 1 cup apple pulp, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, till it thickens when tried on a saucer. The jam is a rich apricot colour when cooked.

That is very interesting. We published a recipe for rose hip jam lately -one taken from an English paper. But it is reassuring to hear from someone who has repeatedly made the jam; and the idea of adding apple-pulp is new to us.
