Northwest Territories
Rosehips are the fruit that's left once flowers have faded from the wild roses that grow in abundance throughout the Northwest Territories. They are edible, and are a good source of vitamin C. Rosehips are used to make jams, jellies and teas. Here, cream is infused with dried rosehips to make a delicate, floral-flavoured filling – perfect for a summer cookie. Look for crushed dried rosehips in bulk food stores, health food stores or specialty tea
shops. If you have wild rose bushes nearby, harvest and dry your own.
