This dandelion honey is a very nice recipe that catches spring in a jar--fun to do with kids to pick the flowers. Can also be done with any other edible blossoms.

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups dandelion flowers
4 cups cold water
1 lemon, sliced
5 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Combine dandelion blossoms, cold water, and sliced lemon in a large pot; bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 15 minutes. Let cool and sit, covered, for 24 to 48 hours.
  • Strain through a very fine sieve or linen cloth over a pot, trying to squeeze as much juices out as possible.
  • Add sugar to this juice and simmer to a syrupy consistency, stirring often, 45 minutes to 3 hours. The "honey" will also get a more syrupy consistence after it cools. Do not boil vigorously or you might get hard candy after it cools down!
  • Meanwhile, inspect 4 jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until honey is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Fill jars while still hot, screw on lids, and turn upside down for about 5 minutes--this seals the jars like bought ones so they will actually "plop" when you open them.
