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!
