# What You'll 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 ounces)
# How to Make:
01 - Harvest only the yellow dandelion petals, discarding any green sepals and stems to prevent bitterness.
02 - Combine dandelion petals and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
03 - Remove from heat, cover the pot, and allow the mixture to steep for at least 6 hours or overnight for enhanced flavor extraction.
04 - Strain the infusion through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, squeezing gently to extract maximum liquid. Discard solids. Measure 3 cups of the infusion, adding water if needed.
05 - Transfer the strained infusion to a clean saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and fruit pectin. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
06 - Stir in granulated sugar and honey. Continue stirring and return the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring constant stirring until the mixture thickens and sets when tested.
07 - Remove from heat. Skim off any foam from the surface. Carefully ladle hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch of headspace. Wipe rims, seal with sterilized lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
08 - Let jars cool undisturbed. Verify the seals before storing jars in a cool, dark place.
