Dandelion jelly
Found some dandelion flowers way back in the freezer as I was packing. Here’s what happened:
Bring the water to a boil and add the dandelion petals.
Simmer over very gentle heat about 10 minutes, then strain.
Add more blossoms to the strained water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Continue simmering and straining until all the blossoms are used up. Strain one last time using a coffee filter. Combine water with lemon juice, sugar and pectin. Bring to roiling boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil hard for one minute. Skim. Pour into hot jars and seal. I’ve heard of people using yellow food colouring, but ew.
