Chef's Tip:
As I have only just made this jelly this week, I have no idea how long it will keep, but I do suggest keeping it in the fridge.
Rose hip syrup is something given to babies and generally available from your local chemist / pharmacy.
The grenadine is added to give the jelly a light, delicate colour. If you have none add just a few drops of red food colour.
