# What You Need:
→ Foraged Blossoms
01 - 4 cups fresh dandelion petals, green parts removed
→ Liquids
02 - 4 cups water
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
→ Sweeteners
04 - 2 cups granulated sugar
05 - 1 cup mild honey
→ Setting Agents
06 - 1 packet fruit pectin (1.75 oz)
# Directions:
01 - Pick only the yellow parts of dandelion flowers, removing all green sepals and stems to prevent bitterness.
02 - Place dandelion petals and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
03 - Remove saucepan from heat, cover, and allow mixture to steep for at least 6 hours or overnight.
04 - Strain liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Press gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard spent petals.
05 - Measure 3 cups of dandelion infusion. If less, add water to reach exactly 3 cups.
06 - Place the measured infusion into a clean saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and fruit pectin. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
07 - Add sugar and honey, stirring thoroughly. Return to a vigorous boil. Boil hard for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and passes the jelly test.
08 - Remove from heat and skim off any foam formed on the surface.
09 - Ladle jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rims. Seal jars with sterilized lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
10 - Allow jars to cool undisturbed. Confirm seals before storing in a cool, dark place.
