I have never, and would never sweeten a spaghetti sauce, sweetening became a trends when folks switched to tomato paste (and added water) instead of using fresh tomatoes (after ww2), tomato paste is bitter and you can try to hide that with sugar. Good tomatoes, gentle cooking and basil and...

This spot is about a mile down the road from me, Redtail hawks have a nest in the tree but there are five large bushes on this side and another five on the other. I wonder if these wild hips will have the flavor you want, some folks are reporting less than good results with wild hips.

I think overwinter ripening then drying wouldn't yield anything good, looks like its gonna be some months out...

Not the best photo's but this is one bush just down the road from me, it's been picked over by birds, but is still loaded. The hips are mushy, but still sweet...

Willing to share that recipe?

Ha, Oregon, I am 10 miles from Oregon. The biggest impediment is the desire to pick the berries. I have a bunch to clean up so the next four days I am likely to get the pot filled. Drying is going to make the house smell like a juniper forest...

I have an old pressure cooker I installed a worm and a cooling bucket. I am in the process of gathering juniper berries, then will dry, crush and steam distill, from what i've been told will be water and juniper oil. Then skim the oil off the water...
