English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3840 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cook rose hips as for preserves in recipe No. 3296 and leave in syrup for two or three weeks.
Drain and set on a sieve over a bowl of boiling water until the water cools.
Allow to dry somewhat, then place in an oven with gentle residual heat.
When just slightly dried but still soft, cool, sprinkle with sugar and pack in jars.
