Soak the rosehips, raisins or sultanas, and apples in vinegar overnight. After soaking, place the rosehips with remaining ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil oveer high heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened. Leave to cool, then place chutney in clean, dry jars and cover with parafin and cellophane and plastic-lined lids (or glass jars with rubber seals and hinged lids). Store chutney in a cool place. Keep for at least a month before using. Like all chutneys, this one improves with age. It goes well with, turkey, ham, or game and is good during the winter holidays.
