In reply to Joanne. When using fresh rose hips, you cut the rose hip in half and scrape out the seeds and hair

If using fresh rose hips, what about all those fuzzy hairs inside?

Looks great! I have everything except the rosehips. Is there a good substitute? Or can I leave them out?

I bought a bag of frozen elderberries. Can I dehydrate them in a dehydrator? If so how long would I dehydrate them without over doing it? Would love to make this recipe with dried elderberries.

In reply to Michelle. No refrigeration needed as the brandy preserves it.
