Rosa Canina or Dog rose is a shrub with a sweet and sour fruit. It has a very high level of vitamin C, very powerful antioxidant Anthocyanin in traces as well as Carotenoids, antioxidants too. It is used for making marmalade, vine and herbal tea.
Marmalade recipe
4 kg big, ripe Rosa Canina fruits
1,5 kg sugar
Wash fruits and remove stems. Cut each one in half and remove seeds and tiny hairs. Now, wash fruits thoroughly, and leave them covered overnight.
The next day put fruits in a large pot and pour cold water enough to cover them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft. When they're cooked, mash them through the strainer and then return to the washed pot. Add sugar and cook until it thickens, for about 20 minutes.
Pour marmalade in cleaned, hot jars and place in warm (not hot!) oven overnight. The next day cover the jars.
Cleaning the Rosa Canina fruit is time consuming, but without those tiny hairs from the fruits, marmalade is a lot better.

i just joined the DB this month too, just checking out everyone else's blogs, wanted to say hello :)
that's a great capture Maria:) and the marmalade sounds great too!
Thanks for participating WHB.
Just a stupid question, does the name of your blog mean "pancake"? I bet your marmelade would be great with a thin one

Yes they are Ulrike :). Although, pancakes in Serbia actually look like crepes. Hopefully, I will be posting recipe soon.
I know the Austrian "Palatschinke", they are thin pancakes but not the French crepes or the thick American pancakes. The German ones are something in between
