Re: Rosehips

Yes, you destroy half the vitamen C by cooking the rosehips, but seeing as they're so high in the stuff and we get rather a lot of vitamens out of other foods these days (if you eat a healthy diet) that it's not really a problem.
Of course, making a syrup doesn't involve cooking them, prick them 5 times and put a layer over a layer of sugar and alternate layers. The sugar draws out the juices which, in turn, liquefy the sugar.
