1 quart dandelion blossoms
1 quart water
1 pkg Sure Jell
2 tbls lemon juice
4 1/2 cups sugar
This is really good! It tastes a bit like honey. It's fun for the kids too. Just be sure to use dandelion blossoms from an untreated yard.
Hold each flower by its calyx (the green base) and snip off the golden blossoms with scissors into your saucepan. Discard calyx. Boil blossoms in 1 qt. water for 3 minutes. Strain off 3 cups liquid. Add sure jell and lemon juice to liquid. When it comes to a rolling boil, add sugar and a few drops of yellow food coloring (we don't), if desired. Boil 3 minutes or until it reaches the jelly stage. Pour into jelly jars and process.
