Cover and ferment 5-7 days, stirring daily. Strain through nylon straining bag, squeezing petals lightly to extract additional flavor. Fit airlock and ferment 30 days.

Oh, no, Beverley with an extra e...you just sent my jelly making mission to a whole new height/challenge. With all these recipes I think I just dies and went to jelly heaven.

Tracy,
Thanks for the recipe...I've been wanting to try this. Dandelion weeds are safe to eat, correct? Just pulled out of my weedy yard (we are getting the lawn mower on Wednesday, my yard looks a fright)! Anyway, we do not spray our yard with anything. Do you just cut the tops off of the flowers? Do you have to make the jam immediately after picking?

I made mine right after the kids picked the dandelions. There is also a recipe in MJF Outpost book.
Yes, they are safe to eat if you do not put chemicals on them. We are surrounded by crops, so we pick them prior to the farmer's spraying nearby.
I have recently tasted dandelion salsa that was homemade in Amish country. I may consider making that too. Another item I have tasted was dandelion gravy over mashed potatoes.

Hey ladies, the Dandelion & Rose jelly recipe along with other Dandelion recipes are in Mary Janes Outpost book pages 203-207. I just happened to be looking through the book this rainy afternoon. I think I might try the recipes as well.

Oh, thanks! I have that book...will check it out. Was ready to do the jam and now the weather is cold and wet again and I don't feel like going out to pick them. (Whine) Where is summer??!! Anyway, how does the jam taste? I mentioned it to my husband and a friend and they both made funny faces at me. It looks pretty...

Ahh, I can't believe I got the books messed up!!! I was so certain it was in the ideabook. I'm so sorry Beverley for having you go through all the trouble you did! Thankyou so much for the recipes you posted though. I'm going to try to make some this week, hoping it will turn out! My problem is getting roses that haven't been sprayed with that stuff to make the flowers last longer. I'm so rural all the flowers thus far have been sprayed. I think I will just make regular dandelion jelly and try to grow my own roses this year and go from there. Thanks so much!

No such thing as a stupid question! Only stupid answers :) Yeah, Dandelion's are the little yellow flowers that a lot of people try to get rid of and after they are done blooming they form the puffy white seed heads that you can blow in the wind. Its really neat. I was so glad to find out our new farmhouse has tons of dandelions. :) I like them!

I just finished my very first batch of dandelion jelly. I used liquid pectin for the first time too. How long before I know if it is setting up? The jelly is so beautifully clear and such a pretty color. I am so excited. I really hope it turns out!

Krystle Thanks for the answer. I just cannot imagine how dandelion jelly would taste. But my interest is peaked. I am going to try to make some. Say a prayer for me. LOL
