Rose Hip Leaf Wine
Making rose hip leaf wine
The late autumn is synonymous with rose hips, those brilliant red seed pods bursting with as much vitamin C as trillion oranges. Those rosehips alone do make a fantastic wine - here for the recipe.
However, we seem to have an abundance of rosehip bushes that creep and invade their way into the rhubarb bed and need pruning. It would seem such a waste to prune and not turn these bushes into a homebrew!
Scouring the internet, the nearest recipe I could find was for a brambletip wine, a tried and tested country wine, but nothing about making wine from rosehip leaves. I think there is nothing like creating an original recipe, so the fun of creating a my own rosehip leaf wine began!
