Dandelion Blossom Syrup
From karlyn255 14 years agoIngredients
- 1 quart dandelion flowers shopping list
- 1 quart (4 cups) water shopping list
- 4 cups sugar shopping list
- ½ lemon or orange (organic if possible) chopped, peel and all shopping list
How to make it
- Note:
- The citrus is optional, it will give the syrup an orangey or lemony flavor. If you want the pure dandelion flavor, you can skip the citrus.
- I make it both ways each year.
- *****************************************
- Put blossoms and water in a pot.
- Bring just to a boil, turn off heat, cover, and let sit overnight.
- The next day, strain and press liquid out of spent flowers.
- Add sugar and sliced citrus and heat slowly, stirring now and again, for several hours or until reduced to a thick, honey-like syrup.
- Can in half-pint or 1 pint jars.
- ************************************************************
- This recipe makes a little more than 1 pint.
- I usually triple or quadruple this, and I make more than one batch when the blossoms are in season to have enough for the year.
- The syrup makes great Christmas presents, so make plenty!
