    It looks so good. I'm going to try it. I'm making bread now so I have to wait for more flowers. We love fried dandelions. I never knew you could make so many things with dandelions. I love to see them growing. I pick them even in the fall to fry. Thanks for the recipe.

    My mother used to make that when I was young. It was just a fun thing to do. I never cared for it but I find most jellies a bit insipid. Dandelion wine, however, id heavenly! But that requires a gallon of blossoms and is quite laborious.

    Jellies will keep
    for a year or more, although the quality may decline over time.. There is very little danger of spoilage beyond mold on the top.

    My late iguana LOVED dandelions, and the only reason I've never tried them is because the flowers are ALWAYS chock full of tiny black ants, way down deep in the bloom. You can't get them all out and I don't like having my tongue bitten by ants.

    Thank you for your excellent tutorial… I had watched someone else's and they didn't remove their green petal base- so I didn't for 1/2 of them (when I saw yours I de-petaled the rest).. so my jelly is an interesting yellowy green. Hoping it sets up!!

    Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! I have dandelions growing in various places but now I'm thinking of really propagating them to make this.
    Also, thank you for showing that this can be water bathed and canned for shelf storage.

    You can make it like honey doing the same thing, but not adding that jelly agent. In stead, put in more sugar and boil it until it looks like honey. And it tastes and it smells like honey. I swear.

    After spending like 5 hours processing dandelions for wine, getting this in my recommendeds made me feel kinda ill 😂
    For a pretty efficient way to process, I recommend splitting them in half, then using your nails to just cut into where the petals meet the base. Comes off nice and easily

    Add some orange zest to the dandelion peddles when you see seep them, or a couple of drops of orange oil when you add the pectin, and the flavor really pops.
