Fruits And Vegetables - Rose Hip Freezer Jam

The rose hips in this jam are uncooked so the jam tastes fresh and sweet; it retains its bright rosy-orange color. The hardest part is seeding the hips which can be sticky, but so worth it! Use wild or cultivated rugosa roses that haven't been sprayed with pesticide; pick them in the fall when they are bright red. I adapted my recipe from one in a Euell Gibbons field guide.

Breakfast And Brunch - Classic Bran Muffins

A delicious source of fiber! My family have them almost every morning. You may substitute dates for the raisins if you wish.
