Shiso is one of Japanese herbs. Tastes like mixed of basil, licorice, and mint.
The tanginess of the rosehip and the distinctive aroma from the Shiso herb are matching very well.
The taste of the jam reminds me plum jam, then I researched about those two plants - plums are a part of rose family. Probably that is because I reminds the taste of the plum jam?
Anyways.
Surprisingly, many of fruits such as pear, apples, cherries, strawberries and almonds, and more are Rosacae(rose) familly.
Ok, ok..back to the subject.
