Another Jelly Recipe

Hello all...

Another weekend is almost over.  Summer will soon be upon us and Spring will be gone for another year.  Time is flying by..

I had said that I would show you the Dandelion Jelly that I made the other day.. I think I had a jelly week... smile..

I had made this last year and it was a big hit..

So I thought I best make a few more batches..

The recipe I used this year is almost the same as the Apple Blossom one... I just changed the flowers  to the Dandelions...

Here is the recipe though just in case you want it..

Ours are almost gone although I think  you could find enough for a batch if you wanted to..

Dandelion Jelly..

Gather 4 heaping cups of blossoms..

With your scissors cut off the petals ...

Cover these petals with 4 cups of boiling water and let it sit overnight... This is the tea..

Strain this through a sieve and coffee filter to measure 4 cups..

Add boiling water up to 1/2 cup to measure the full amount.

Place it and 8 cups of sugar in a large pot and add 1/2 cup of lemon juice... Stir well..

Bring to a full rolling boil and boil for a couple of minutes.

Add 2 packages of liquid certo and boil for another couple of minutes..

Bottle and Seal..

This jelly tastes a lot like honey..

There are lots of recipes on the web but I find this one gels every time...

I do not like the powdered pectin... Sometimes it does not work..

Hope you enjoy this recipe..

We had a lovely Keepers of the Home meeting today..

We made some homemade cleaners and such which I will try and share with you next week..

Enjoy your weekend..

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day.. 

He is worthy of our praise... 

Love to you all...
