I have always been intimidated by making jelly or jams but you make it look so easy.

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

That is awesome! Here I am killing all my dandelions off because I despise them. I just received an email from a friend who makes dandelion coffee. Using the roots and putting them in the oven to dry, then grind and viola your coffee grounds are ready. Apparently it makes the house smell like you are cooking brownies. That I must try to

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

Made this thanks to your video last year, and I came back for a refresher for year two! Thank you for sharing

[@MsK-xm7vw]

I'm just making this for the first time since I made it as a child with my Gramma. It's May 2022. I'm reviving my pantry with nostalgic recipes. Next week Spruce Tip Syrup; then Clover Jelly. The Depression we're all about to experience will renew these gifts from Mother Nature. 💙

Nice pond and beautiful yard

[@alfcnz]

Hahaha, how cute ending! When you were pouring the sugar I was like 😱😱😱

[@hahaipokedyouoel483]

I’m impressed

[@555BeTheLight]

That looks so yummy! I had no idea you could make honey with dandelions. No I know! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@serdalkaptan]

Thank you very much for this awesome recipe. Very well explained as well. I will for sure try this recipe of yours when dandelions show up in the spring. Regards from Canada.

[@jennimckean3697]

Just found your recipe, I've a garden FULL of dandelions but always too scared to use them! I'll give this a go this afternoon

[@rplittle66]

I am making Vanilla right now, it is a minimum of 2 months the longer you let it sit the better.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Cheers fella, that looks lush! Definitely gonna give that a go 👍😊

Beautiful fish pond

[@lindamallett1956]

This looks good and we raise bees!! Have you ever made dandelion wine?? It’s very good but very potent!!

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I used to make home made wine, but I sold all of my wine making stuff. It was really good.

[@lindamallett1956]

Awww

[@gryblpblp8837]

Thanks so much the huney turned out great!!!

[@djtblizzle]

Have you ever made it without the fruit? I’d be interested in knowing what kind of flavor profile the dandelions carry on their own. ??

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Yes, it is delicious. You don’t have to use any fruit in this recipe if you don’t want to. I was just getting creative again.

[@snaofidesi]

hi, lovely recipe. i was wondering, what can i replace the sugar with? could i use maple syrup or honey instead?

[@terencehankinson2000]

The wife here. Have you tried adding a few cloves or lavander to the cooking process before straining

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

No

[@amalm1384]

Great video! Could you make honey with jasmine?

[@Pmdbl123]

You LOVE your pond I'd like to know how you keep it so clean

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I built a biological filter for it.

[@Pmdbl123]

Twin Cities Adventures bio filter? I have a pond I can't keep up with. Would you please tell me how you built it? Email at [e-mail] And great videos. Made cheese cake was easy and fabulous . Thank you.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Thanks for watching. If you watch this short film that I made, it will show you everything that I do. I dug a hole and put a pond liner in it, then put my filters in it, filled it up with water then I clean it out once a month. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXa1l5Jje76kmqM

[@karensavageau4622]

I read an article that states you don't wash the flowers because you will lose the pollen...

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s just silly. You should wash everything before you eat it. Or cook it :-)

[@jtsampson81]

Long shot, but could you tell me how many cups would a gallon bag of dandelions be? I wanted to pick mine before I mow but I'm out of ziploc bags. Can't wait to try this

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I would say at least 6 to 8 cups.

[@jtsampson81]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures came back to say thank you for the reply & the recipe. I just got done with my first batch & it's absolutely amazing!

[@freshandzesty1111]

Pretty neato! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Can you use other types of sugar? Just wondering if you could use monkfruit sugar instead?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You can try any sugar

[@Lizz_131]

Hi! Once the jars are cooled will they become more of a honey texture? Versus the liquid look yours had at the end of the video? Just putting them in my pantry is that okay, or do they need to be put into the fridge? Thanks so much. I am so intrigued by this And would love to make the jam and the honey!!

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Just treat them the same way you would if you bought honey at the store. Every liquid that is hot is going to be more runny and as it cools it will thicken.

[@kimmitchell7239]

How long can you keep this if you just water bath for 10 minutes?

[@yotmatharaleng898]

Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. May I know why it was boiled again in the end and also how long can we keep.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

to bring it to the right thickness.it will keep for a long time.

[@gryblpblp8837]

Hey I know your probably not gona see this but when you put it on the propain thing could you just boil it on stove top?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You can use your stove top if you want to. I just use the outside burning because it gets a lot hotter and it gets the job done quicker.

[@gryblpblp8837]

Oh yeah thank you

[@nebwula]

I don’t have lemons but would a lime and an orange be able to make the honey?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I guess you could try Lime

[@walterjunovich6180]

How would you suggest to preserve the dandelion heads until i can collect enough ?. Freezing ?, Vacuum Sealer ?, etc. ??

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I would put them in a bowl in the refrigerator.

[@Karakoramstories]

Very nice sir. If orange Is not available then what we have to use instead of orange.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You don’t really have to put any additives in there. I just did it for something different.

[@thenoodlebuddy]

Why did one go straight in the fridge and the other were in the hot water bath? Any particular reason for doing that?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

The one I put in the fridge is to start eating right away. The rest went in the water bath because I want to reserve them for later use.

[@connybannowsky9692]

Unorthodox but interesting. What does the green stuff do to the flavor of your honey? I thought you couldn't use anything but the yellow petals? And don't you have to submerge your jars under at least an inch of water? I'm newb, that's why I ask.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You can eat every part of the dandelion. Try not to use too much of the green parts because it might make it a little bit tart.

[@Lauraevoy]

Sooooo… I made a boo boo. I got a little ahead of myself and added the sugar during the steeping step. I hope I didn’t ruin it.

[@jasper3697]

Are there any other flowers that could work? Where I live there's not many dandelions for some reason, but many other flowers.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You could use roses, honeysuckle, violets, or peony flowers like I did in this jelly recipe.

Thank you so much!!

[@ragnardaviking1447]

How long does non water bath ones last in the refrigerator

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I don’t know that’s a good question we usually make them in the water bath.

[@UserUser-zv6cj]

Can you use something else aside sugar?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s a good question, I don’t know but I’m sure you could use some keto sugar alternatives.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Can you boil it down on the stove and do the water bath on the stove?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I suppose you could but that’s a lot of humidity in the kitchen and it might absorb into the ceiling or walls. If you do that make sure you really vent the house well.

[@jamaicanaturekitchen]

Can you use sunflowers ?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Yes, sunflower petals are edible. You could probably make this recipe with those instead of dandelions.

[@lisalisaandthecoolgem929]

Can the dandelion heads be dried when making the honey recipe? I see I don’t have many dandelions growing right now😢😂

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That is a great question and I am not sure of the answer. If you want to find more dandelions you should just get in the car and go for a drive and find an area that has a lot of them you can kind of tell if it is an area that is natural versus possibly a corporate business that might use harmful chemicals.

[@sashafrazier7307]

Can i do this with chamomile instead

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

you can make jelly or a honey reduction from any tea.

[@leemuhall9810]

How long will this keep?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s a good question, I really don’t have an answer for you.

[@leemuhall9810]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures thank you. Whats the longest you've had it?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I always give some away, so my supply may last for six months or so before we use it up. We don't eat a lot of honey so we always give half of it away. people love it...

[@vivianlowe5351]

Are the oranges in the end necessary???,

Nothing is really necessary. You get to be your own artist and make all of your own choices. This is our creative expression that we wanted to share . Thanks for watching.
