I love fresh waffles, especially when they are a bit crispy and fresh off of the waffle iron. Both waffles and pancakes provide a nice way to enjoy both your garden and wild fruit preserves. I served these with my rosehip jelly and highbush cranberry compote. Make a full batch of the waffles as you can always pop the extras into the toaster for breakfast the next day.

Waffles

2 eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1-3/4 cups milk

1 tablespoon brown sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the waffle iron. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Beat in the remaining ingredients until batter is smooth. Ladle some batter onto waffle iron (the amount depending on the size of your iron) and bake for about 5 minutes. Remove the baked waffles and place them into a warm oven until all waffles are baked. Serve immediately.

This jelly is very high in vitamin C and has a wonderful tangy, hibiscus-like flavor. Serve on toast, pancakes, waffles, crepes or on top of a wheel of brie.

rosehip jelly

8 cups of rose hips

6 cups of water

4 cups of the prepared juice

1 box of certo

1/2 cup lemon juice (bottled or fresh)

5 cups of organic sugar (I only used 3 cups as I like my jelly tart in flavor)

Remove stems and wash rosehips. Put hips into a stainless steel pot (never use aluminum as this destroys the vitamin C) and add water. Boil for about 10 – 15 minutes, until the fruit is soft enough to crush. Crush and squeeze through jelly bag. Put prepared juice into stainless steel pot, add lemon juice and certo and bring to a boil. Add sugar and boil hard for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized jars up to ¼ inch from the top and seal.

Enjoy!
