    I use to make this every year and can it by the dozens because most of my friends who lived in the city couldn't trust making it themselves due to the heavy dog traffic. I now live back in the city and miss it so much. I can't wait to go back to the mountains where the plants and other natural resources are so much safer. You made me homesick but so glad you shared this recipe with others. Some good eats, economical and pretty good amount of vitamin C in there too. Ps... I never think of dandelions as weeds! ;)
