Ingredients

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the dandelion petals, reduce heat and simmer gently about 15 minutes. Remove the petals with a slotted spoon and discard. Shake out as much water from the petals as you can.
  2. Pour the dandelion water into a 4-cup measuring glass. You want 3 cups of dandelion water. Add regular water to make 3 cups, if needed. Pour it back into the pot. 
  3. Add the lemon juice, pectin and food coloring, if using. Bring to a boil. Add the sugar and cook, stirring, about 1 to 2 minutes. Skim off any foam that accumulates at the top. 
  4. Pour the mixture into sterilized jarsProcess the jarred jelly, if desired. Let the jelly cool and then refrigerate. 

Note: Because this jelly is like a honey, there is quite a bit of sugar in it. If you'd like it less syrupy jelly, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 3 to 4 cups. Experiment until you find the perfect consistency for you.
