I let my garden go uncared for last year as my husband passed away. I looked out today to my strawberry patch and saw the most beautiful clump of dandelions. Now I know what to do with these beautiful flowers. Thank you for the recipe.
I have made this dandelion jelly at the fairs in Iowa and won ribbon on making this jelly great recipe
Can you substitute honey for the sugar?
Hi, Sandi. We would not recommend making that substitution.
Can this be made without pectin?
Can the pink dandelions be used for Jelly too?
Surely you mean we should measure out 3 pints of dandelion liquid, not 3 cups? Three pints plus the lemon juice, pectin and sugar should fill the 4 pint jars just right.
they are filling 1/2 pint jars, not pint jars so 3 cups liquid would be right.
I found it easier to pull the flower out than cutting off the stem and separating out the green petal shaped portions. I then washed the flowers, as more manageable dry for separation than wet. If someone else has some tips for the separation process, which was the most time consuming part, I would love to hear it. Taste was excellent.
If you take the dandelion head and twist it in your fingers applying pressure right at the green nub the petals come out really easily
