I
canned this season's first dandelion jelly. Last year it did not set,
and I had to re-boil it. This year, I used a different recipe, and it
set. Now....we just have to taste it.
Update:
I used my Queen Anne's Lace Jelly recipe, but used about 2 cups of dandelion petals. Next time I will use about a quart of petals and boil them a bit longer. The kids really liked the flavor this time.
I also cleaned out 2 more flower beds, and pulled all the dandelions (several more to clean out yet). The roots dried nicely in my dehydrator overnight. My jar is filling back up.
I entered a blog giveaway, by Nancy Jo and won this apron book. I can't wait to sew my own this year .....after I shed more pounds. Thanks Nancy Jo. It arrived very pretty, wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon.
After Easter, I am focusing on finished up to declutter spots - one bathroom drawer (kids keep messing it up) and one entrance area where boots are in an ugly mess.

I recently saw someone post dandelion syrup...is this the same thing?
The Husband has recently mowed and so my dandelion supply is down...I may have to wait.
But I still want to try it!
do you think this would help or hurt someone with allergies. (by helping i mean sort of like local honey does for people with allergies)

I'll add the link to the post.
We do eat the leaves in salads and in dandelion gravy. Next week I plan to pick some more.
