Rose hips are also widely used in alternative veterinary medicine for many animals and in particular in equine nutrition and treatments. Apart from all this, they are delicious as a sauce for ice-cream, syllabubs, custards etc.,. I freeze my syrup in ice-cube trays for easy storage, less sugar content and to have handy for putting in to drinks such as kefir and wine punch. Food and medicine in a ready-made capsule!
