In Hungary, there are mushroom inspectors where one can take one's gathered specimens and have them looked over, but as for berries, we are not sure about that. Rose hips are regularly on sale here in our local market, but as for what to do with them, well, we are no experts in that regard!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-91368306190952676162011-11-14T09:34:43.961+00:002011-11-14T09:34:43.961+00:00Having grown up after the war with rosehip syrup a...Having grown up after the war with rosehip syrup as a source of Vitamin C, I tried making some when our children were small.

Much easier to forage for them in a supermarket.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
