- Remove one third of the hips and a 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid. Place into a fine sieve over the saucepan with the remaining cooked hips. Mash and push them through the sieve with a spoon. Discard what is left.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice and place back on the hob and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens. Remove and cool. Place into a jam jar and pop it into the fridge until its needed.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. Pour the cream into a saucepan, add 80g of the sugar and heat gently, stirring, until it's dissolved. Bring just to a simmer, and then remove from the heat.
- Squeeze out the gelatine and then stir it into the hot cream mixture to dissolve. Pour it through a sieve into a clean bowl and stir in the milk and buttermilk. Taste, add a little more sugar if you like it sweeter.
- Have four moulds, cups or ramekins ready and pour the mixture between them. Cool and then refrigerate for at least 5 hours or better still overnight.
