How To make Dandelion Jelly
1 qt Dandelion blossoms
2 qt Water
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 3/4 oz Powdered fruit pectin
5 1/2 c Sugar
Pick bright, fresh dandelion blossoms and pack the quart container pretty tightly. This is going to require a lot of dandelion blossoms! Rinse quickly in cold water to remove any insects/dirt on the petals. Don't leave the blossoms in the water for very long though, as they will be a little the worse for wear. Next, pull up a chair somewhere comfortable, as this part is going to take awhile...Snip off the stem and green collar under each blossom, so that only the petals are left. This takes about four hours! In an enamel saucepan, boil the dandelion petals in water for 3 minutes, or a little longer, until the water takes on their color. (I boiled the petals for 4 minutes until I liked the color better.) Cool and strain, pressing against the petals with your fingers to extract all of the dandelion juice. (Or you can cheat and line a sieve with moistened cheesecloth and strain it that way.) Measure out 3 cups of dandelion liquid. Add the lemon juice and fruit pectin. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, using a large kettle. Add the sugar, stirring to mix well. Continue stirring and boil the mixture for 2 and 1/2 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jelly jars and seal. Process for five minutes in a boiling water bath. Yield: Five 1/2 pint jars.

Poor man's honey - DANDELION JELLY recipe
In this video we'll be making a wonderful treat. Here is a list of things you might need.
water, 4.5 cups of sugar, pectin, lemon juice dandelion flowers.
tongs, jars, towel, bowl, measuring cups, table spoon, scissors, a ladle or funnel
Pick around 10 cups of dandelion flowers. Next wash them oft remove bugs. Next use the scissors to cut off the green backside and separate the yellow petals. Place into a bowl.
Take 2 cups of petals and pour 4 cups of boiling water over the petals, and let cool down. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
For the next step you'll need 3.5-4 cups of dandelion tea. 4.5 cups of sugar, powdered pectin, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Strain the dandelion tea, and use a spoon to press out any juice. If you like you can then also strain the tea through a coffee filter or you can skip this step. I wanted smooth jelly so I filtered mine a through a coffee filter.
Measure out 3.5-4 cups of dandelion tea. You can add water to the tea to get this amount. Put into a large pot. Add the pectin and lemon juice. Then bring to a boil.
Add the 4.5 cups of sugar and return to a boil. Boil for 1.5 to 2 minutes. then remove from heat.
I boiled another pot of water and poured it over my jars to sanitize them. Next, I used ladle and put the jelly into the jars leaving 1/4 inch of head space.
Put the jars into a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and use tongs to remove. I sat them carefully onto a tool to cool down.
Let set for 24 hours and then crack open a jar!
This is a fun recipe and these make wonderful gifts. I'm excited to make more.
