A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
The yellow, prickly rose hip of Rosa roxburghii, also called chestnut rose. It has firm flesh, hard seeds and a tart, astringent flavour; it is not a pear or cactus fruit.
In the kitchen
Pressed and filtered for juices and fruit drinks, or processed into preserves. Remove prickles and separate coarse seed material during preparation.
Fresh fruit, dried fruit, juice concentrate and sweetened drinks are different forms. Do not substitute an unrelated fruit merely because its common name includes 'pear'.
