Yesterday "Little Shadow" and I picked Dandelion blooms , washed and poured 2 c. boiling water over them,and let them set overnight.
This a.m. we strained the blooms,added 1/4c. lemon juice, and 4 c. sugar.
Then we boiled it to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred, added 3 oz. liquid Certo and boiled for 2 more mins.We put it in jars and sealed.
I like the amber color setting on the windowsill. Now for it to jell and have a tea party .:o) "L.S." went home last night, then called this a.m. to come back. I think she should just move in.Lol
I hope everyone has a Great Good Fri. and A Blessed Easter!

Have a very blessed Easter Lib! I think I am going to try some dandilion jelly.
I have never heard of dandelion jelly before! I copied your recipe and may just make a batch some day! We don't see many dandelions here as the landscapers spray them and kill them.
Sounded like a fun cooking day with your "Little Shadow." How sweet that you have someone to do things like this with!
I don;t get around much lately as I've been working on my guest bath...what a job it has been! I work in slow gear these days! I can't do what I could 20 years ago! LOL
Have a Happy and Blessed Easter, Lib!
((( HUGS )))
Lib , That dandelion jelly looks wonderful. I haven't made dandelion jelly yet , guess I need to give it try.
I've been picking dandelions today , hope to make some dandelion wine , guess I'll be picking more for jelly.
