Awww. That's a really good saying!!!
How about poison ivy
James Mosley they can be used in homeopathic treatments, everything can be helpful, even when it seems like they only hurt :)
I love saying this to my mom.
@@DarekBarquero yeah homeopathy is snake oil.
tea taba doo baya 🥺🔥
I'm done🤣🤣
Dandelion Leaves are actually high in Vitamin A and Vitamin K, no joke.
you win mate :D
Haha same! I used to do this as a kid pretending to be a witch... now i still do this lol 💛😉
So, you were the weird kid no one wanted to sit next to...
I dig it 👍
My mom made dandelion jelly once when I was a kid. I helped her prep the flowers. It took ages, but the jelly was so good. Thank you for bringing back a beautiful memory of time spent with my wonderful mom. 💖
This is the sweetest comment ever
Aww. Definitely a heartwarming moment to reminisce about 🥰
@Vibe i agree
@Hentai Commander ^_-
Separating the petals drives me insane (and I'm really OCD about getting absolutely no green parts in) so I watch these videos to help me stay on track
You can make coffee, tea, food and now honey from this one plant? And it spreads by itself? Seriously why do we not just let them grow instead of grass.
because ThEy ArE WeEdS yuck ew
Because of capitalism and classicism
@@iloveaginganddying6207 Actually, they are herbs, that have been used for food and healing for centuries.
dont forget wine
Because they are invasive and they cut nutrients from other plants
Here's our recipe from Germany. My family makes this for as long as I can remember.
400 to 500 fully opened Dandelion heads (depending on the size) with as less green as you can manage, but you do not have to seperate all green from the yellow petals. Process as fast as possible, so the flowers don't close up too much.
Sometimes there are a lot of very small black bugs in the Dandelions (in German), so if you use those be aware that this will probably not be vegan/vegetarian.
Give the heads a short rinse, but only a short one as you do not want to lose all the pollen.
Then put the flowers in a big pot and add water untill they are covered, about 1 to 1.5 litre per 400 to 500 flowers.
Bring to a boil and then take of the head.
Wait till it cooled down to not boiling your hands.
Put through a sive and afterwards press sived juice through a very fine cloth, to eliminate all or at least as many impureness as possible, as those will influence how fast the honey/syrup will start saccharification.
Put the clear juice into a pot and add around 1 kg of sugar for 1 litre of juice. Experiment a bit to find your preferred volume for looks and taste. (The less sugar per liquid quantity, the more you will need to boil it down, the more concentrated the flavour and the darker the finished product, but probably also easier for saccharification.)
Boil it and skim impurenessess that gather at the surface with a laddle.
There will probably be lots of bubbles and the smaller they get the better.
Boil on low heat, add maybe a tablespoon of cleared lemon juice per 400 to 500 flowers.
Stirr regularty while still removing impurenessess untill you have a still liquid but also syrupy consistency on your laddle.
You can already taste test it.
Fill into sterilized glass jars and turn them on the head for about 5 minutes, then turn them back to regular position.
Wait till cooled and your done.
Now, because this does not rely on pectin or the likes to solidify/gain consitency, but on pure sugar alone, you can re-process it. If you still have a too watery consistency after a day of waiting, you can again boil the liquid and if it is too thick, you can mix it with hot water. But that can lead to higher chances of saccharification, which can already be rather high for this product. However, you can also either use the crystalized sugar as candid sugar or liquify the whole product again and try to get it to not saccharify.
This method may be a bit more work intensive, but it will give you a honey/syrup instead of a jelly.
I habe tried the jelly version myself, but I find the syrup much more enjoyable.
This is very similar to the recipe that I've used for years, both in UK and in France but I have always known it as Dandelion Honey. It makes delicious jelly/syrup/honey. The difference is that I don't rinse the flowers as this will wash out the pollen. I dry them so that bugs have a chance to crawl out. Drying also makes removing the green easier
Gluten tag 😊 thank you very much for sharing your recipe I'd love to try it soon 🤗
My great grandmother used to do it like this when I was a little kid, I always gathered all the dandelion for her. Great memories. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I cant be bothered to read all of that
Good luck
@@Disneyduck334 but you can be bothered to comment?... cant read or learn, but love to hear themselves speak, sounds about right for ppl today 😂
Emmy you should try and make clover "honey" my mom used to make it when I was a kid. It's another poor man's honey.
My dad made clover honey when I was a kid. He would often pop a clover into his mouth & just suck on it like candy.
Wait clover like four leaf clover?
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 yup
They are edible. And not just for feeding livestock
@@DaniJHollis omg they're so good 😂😂
Isn’t it the same as regular honey.
is it bad that my only goal in life is to move into my own house so no one can poison/get rid of my dandelions?
Its a good goal no matter the reason.
No that's a wholesome reason
Same. And having a corner with nettles for pesto.
Real good reason. I want to as well. Somewhere without snooty neighbors to complain about them or HoAs to fine me.
🤣🤣
2:20 me when i was 4 making 'soup' out of flowers from my back garden.
Lexie Keeton my cousins and i used to do that too! don’t forget about the mud😂
Yes! I used to do that too but I just used grass and leaves lol
the way this comment just made me laugh so hard thinking about making mud soup as a kid
And stir it all up with a stick!!
Ah same 😂
Like my nan would always say during fruit canning season/s….
*”Don’t stress about being precise! If you f••k it up, just tell everyone it’s fruit syrup!”* -🤣❤️
This is the best thing I have heard all day 😂 very accurate..... Any tips on making wild grape jam ? Always turns into a syrup for me lol
Also, the white goo on the inside of the dandelion stem can be used as a light glue. It can be used for things that do not require a strong type of glue. They use this back in the olden days.
Here in Finland we have a "poor man's honey" called kuusenkerkkäsiirappi (sprucebudsyrup) and it's made from the fresh new very light green leaves of spruce trees that are usually at the very end of the branches! :D
The recipe is basically you take around 5 dl of spruce tips(buds) put it a pot, cover it with cold water (just so it covers them!) and let this sit out overnight covered!
The next day you cook this spruce juice with the leaves in it for about 1-2 hours! After that let it cool a bit and strain the juice into another pot! Then you take said juice and put around 100 g sugar in it, (only if you have about 1-2dl of water, if less use less sugar, if more use a bit more!) bring this to a light boil and cook the syrup, occasionally stirring it, for an hour or so, check on the syrup every time you stir it, if it has thickened up a bit (similar to honey consistency), then it should be done! You can can this or put it in the fridge in a bottle and use it on ice cream or in tea or as a substitute for honey! :)
"Very interesting! I would like to try this. What is the "dl" measurement?
@@MuskratOutdoors I think he means deciliters, or 10ths of a liter, or 100 milliliters each
Muskrat Outdoors yeah it’s deciliters
Thank you!
I can't read the poor man's honey :((

Fun fact when Emmy said that her Dandelion Jelly tasted like Chamomile,
Dandelion and Chamomile belong to the same genus of flower species, having a star shaped flower, however they are distant cousins because of a slight variation of the genus having been branched.
Wow, thanks! That’s interesting.
They are related to sunflowers and therefore related daisies which is why Chamomile look so much like daisies.
For anyone interested, the family is called Asteraceae, the name coming from the Latin word for star, aster! There a bunch of flowers in this family, including dandelions, sunflowers, daisies, chrysanthemums - and my all time favorite flower - gaillardia just to name a few! The Asteraceae family is one of the largest families of flowers, and they are special because they have two sets of petals: rays and discs. They're such a beautiful family of flowers, with a wide array of medicinal uses. Asters are our friends!
Thank u c: 💕
Does it have tummy soothing qualities like chamomile?
I don't think I've ever craved a piece of buttered white toast with honey on it at 5am so much in my life lol
@yo yo Ehh, sleeping is boring lol
@@kato.4586 *sleep is for the weak*
me at 5 am rn 😭
Told my boyfriend it’s a good thing I’m not pregnant anymore cause he might be out in the yard picking flowers at 3am lol.

If anyone was wondering (because I was and I just looked it up), pectin comes from plants, so this is basically a vegan honey recipe.
First isolated shown as pectin in 1825! Something something part of the cell walls of plants :)
Regular honey is vegan wtf?! Stfu dude
@@bridgeb856 vegans dont eat animal products. bees are an animal.
@@jamgin9890 so what part of regular honey is made of animal?!! You and the rest of the world are pissing me off with this vegan Trend like the organic trend!!! From what I know corn tomatoes and other veggies come from the earth what’s more natural then that but now we have regular tomatoes and then organic, regular corn and organic, wtf and regular honey is vegan this is synthetic you idiot synthetic honey not vegan
@@jamgin9890 “vegans don’t eat animals, bees are animals” you sound stupid like the other people who want “almond milk, vegan honey, vegan meat, beyond sausage, beyond meat” stop tryi to make meat and just eat plant based shit!!! Trying so hard to be accepted that y’all make yourselves look like lunitics.... y’all don’t want beef, burger sausage but y’all want to make fake sausage, beef, and bacon flavored plant products it’s stupid!!!!
My brother's neighbour complained about the dandelions on his lawn. My brother posted a sign on his lawn saying " Free Dandelions".
I didn’t know dandelions were so versatile
They can actually be toxic
Fred Herbert if used incorrectly
Dandelions do contain oxalates, as do many other foods. Eaten in moderation (as with most foods), and not eating the stems, should be fine for most people.
Like my husband lol
@@THEE.apples versatile or toxic 👀 girl....
Wow that just woke up a childhood memory in my head!
I had the tiniest little memory which sometimes popped up in my head about doing something with dandelions in 2nd grade in school. It was a very specific memory in my classroom but I could never quite grasp it. I'm 25 now and this video just brought it back. THIS is what we made back then!!
Yay!!!
I had a similar experience but we made butter in a jar
"Botulism: It can cause paralysis and it can kill you- IT'S AWESOME because botox relaxes your wrinkles by paralysing your face. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? Botulism in your face equals botox... amazing right? My toaster agrees!" - Emmy, 2020
I'm gonna embroider this sentence and hang it on my wall.
JustSchramme i hope you’re not kidding bc i NEED to see this made
That must be why when those that are "botoxed" their mouth doesn't move & when they smile looks fake/paralysed and if in cheeks when they smile looks like golfballs under skin....
She clearly smokes crack.
@@suprememasteroftheuniverse who smokes ctack
@@suprememasteroftheuniverse wt??
The suspense when Emmy trying something for the first time and she's finishing her mouthful of chewing always gets me. Nothing gets me as hype for what shes going to say about it.
"Maybe I should make my own jam or jelly..."
"Do it wrong and it can kill you."
*Adds Jam to Cart*
great humour!
I make my own but always use it up within a few weeks because I can''t afford/can't be bothered with all the canning stuff.
@@SobrietyandSolace That's probably the best route for most of us, tbh.
@@Volair Yeah I look at the jelly as a seasonal treat but if the world continues going to shit, I DO know how to forage and could probably make some foods that would last a few months.It is funny how the two options with botulism and canned zombie apocalypse rations are 'this will extend your life' and 'this will kill you immediately'.
You can always make freezer jams, too 😊
For those who love this recipe, try the same thing again but this time add some pesticide-free rose petals (or rose water, that's fine too) and a few strands of saffron. It literally tastes like a flower garden in the sun smells, it's amazing.
This makes me want to try making jelly/honey from other types of tea plants. Peppermint, lavender, chamomile... Thank your for the inspiration Emmy!
I wonder if you mixed a few of the milder tasting flowers if it'd be closer to tasting like actual honey. I guess it'd be like simulating the wide variety of flowers they'd make their honey from.
Mint jelly :O that sounds good... Now I want to try that too.
@TheWeeaboo From chamomile or dandelions?
@Grust OMG yes I forgot how awesome it is when you put jelly in the freezer. I once made hibiscus tea, strained out the calyxes/fruit/flowers and made cake with it, added pectin to the tea to make elly and then when I got bored of the jelly put it in the freezer. The texture is so fun.
I was thinking about that aswel!, the peppermint one would be very refreshing n relaxing!😁✌
My mom: *wondering why I collected dandelions and is now boiling jars*
Me: don’t worry about it
If she questions the nutrition, you can tell her that Dandelion Leaves are surprisingly high in Vitamin A and Vitamin K. They're a very good source.
@Sentinel Yes good point, even though it's not quite as much as Vit. A and Vit. K. I like how they have some Copper in them, too, in order to help the Iron absorb nicely.
@@101Volts Do these vitamins survive the boil though?
@@Send87 Personally, I don't boil them (they get more bitter at higher temperatures.) I just make Tea with Dandelion at 175 F. The Vitamin A content seems to survive pretty well at that temperature. I can tell because my eyes sometimes get bloodshot, and they recover quickly if I have Dandelion Tea with a little Milk in it.
Witchy stuff going on
Add some orange zest to the dandelion peddles when you see seep them, or a couple of drops of orange oil when you add the pectin, and the flavor really pops.
Ooh. I'm on the hunt today. I'll definitely add the orange zest to my recipe.
Honestly, my jaw dropped when the toast popped up lmao it was SO serendipitous.
Anyone remember singing this song as a kid whilst popping the heads of dandelions ; "momma had a baby and its head popped off" ? .....we did some demented games n things when i was little apparently 😂
Lol yeah I remember that 😂
My mom taught me that saying lol🤣🤣🤣
@Izabella Gueick - My brothers would do that, only instead of saying "Mama" they'd insert the name of one of our female cousins. Usually doing so right in front of said cousin,
When I was a kid we used to sing "Mrs Polly had a dolly and its head popped off" haha
Oh, yeah. I thought it was a Thing, and did it once in front of young mom (I was in college, and babysat for them). She was aghast, and probably wondering what sort of sick person she’d been leaving her children with. I haven’t done it since, tho I might adopt the “Ms. Polly” version.
I make violet jelly, and its amazing! Kind of grapey. It turns brilliant fuchsia when you add the lemon juice💜💜💜
Do you have a recipe, or a recommendation? Thank you!
No joke, I will trade you some violet for some crabapple!! (it's "my specialty")
My grandmother told me many stories about her and her mothers use of so many unexpected edibles; cattails, rosehips and dandelions. She even made us grandkids dandelion salad with new growth leaves. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of the poor during the great depression constantly amazes me.
I remember my grandma had a neighbor who made dandelion honey lollipops and gave them to me and my sister for helping her collect the flowers.
Her calling me one of her beautiful lovelies at the beginning made me cry.
God bless you Kaden. 🙏
When everything gets more abundant again try making candied lemon peels. After making it, you are left with a lemon infused honey-like syrup and candied lemon peels of course!
How do you make that? It sounds lovely
That syrup is great to use when making a lemonade too! I always make candied peels and lemonade together. It’s an efficient, non-wasteful, and delicious use of lemons
@@emiv592
Ingredients
3 to 4 organic lemons, washed
2 cups sugar plus 1/2 cup
Instructions
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemon in vertical strips, trying to leave as much of the bitter white pith behind. In a small saucepan, combine the peels with 2 cups of cold water and bring to a boil. Immediately drain, refill the pan with water, bring to a boil and drain again. Repeat this process three times to remove the bitterness from the peel. After the third dunking remove the peels from the pan and set aside. Measure 2 cups of the sugar into a saucepan, and add one cup of water. Set over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Drop in the peels, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the peels are tender and translucent. Drain and cool the peels. Keep the syrup for other uses. Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl and add the peels. Toss with your fingers until the peels are thoroughly coated. Remove one peel at a time shaking off the excess sugar. Store in an airtight container. Keeps for several weeks in an airtight container
@@TherealDanielleNelson Definitely going to try this!
@@suzuki4195 Tell me how it turns out when you do.
Curious to try all these dandelion recipes however we have high pet traffic in our yard :/
extra flavor?
I'm sure if you wash them you should be fine
I suppose as long as they are processed with enough heat for long enough. No fresh dandelion salads
Lex I love that😂😂😂
Same, we have stray cats, possums and raccoons. I don't even know if they'd leave me enough dandelions to cook with!
we used to jar veggies and make jelly and jam every year when I was a kid. My favorite memories are hearing the popping in the middle of the night from the jars. I would sleep in the living room so I could hear it.
A canner s favorite sound
That's a lovely memory. So cute that you slept in the living room just to catch the sound of the "pop" from the jars. 🥰
Loved that 2!!.
currently making this but halved the recipe, using 2 cups of dandelions. I found it was easier to just pick the flowers rather than cut because I found it harder to control the amount of green sneaking in. more to follow!
edit: I don't own a sieve, so I used a larger mason jar and a coffee filter with the ring around to create one. Might have just inspired a new way to brew coffee.
2 tbsp of certo + 1/2 tsp is roughly half a box of 57g powdered Certo, available here in Canada.
I tasted the ladle after pouring it into 2 jars, and it was delightful. One sealed before reboiling. I will get to taste it tomorrow!! :D
Dandelion, rose and lavender are my absolute favorite flowers and (in my opinion) the most useful/versatile!
(Yes I count dandelion as a flower instead of a weed…. It’s too amazing to be a weed! 😁💖)
On the road I grew up on there was one hay field that was always left completely untouched through spring. They let the dandelions grow for the bees and it's so beautiful to see an entire golden field 😊
Dandelion roots are great in a stir fry just treat them like beansprouts
I tried some dandelion roots raw and they were the nastiest thing I've ever eaten. Do they get better when they're cooked?
@@viennajordan9279 when cooked they taste like slightly bitter rocket (arugula) there best paired with a sweetish or sweet sauce unless you like the taste of them cooked to start with
I don’t know why dandelions are poor man’s. The bees don’t know what’s luxury. It’s just what’s in the area all mixed together
My sister and I made this last week. It seriously is honey. Smells and tastes exactly the same, but pulling all the fluff is rather time consuming
Dandelions aren't weeds they're just misunderstood flowers.
You didnt cover the jelly with wax?
We never do when we make jellies or jams.
My Gramma does. I guess it's the old-school method.
Don't need the wax if there's no air in the jar and you use the pop lids. The pop lids have a safer seal. My mom started canning with wax and then switched to pop lids.
No you dummies, you don't use wax when you waterbath anymore. Only amish people use wax
I've done the old school wax/parrafin method. I've had both success and failure with it. Advantage is often a fresher or brighter flavor due to less cooking time. Disadvantage is higher propensity to failure or air leakage. Flats and rings do work better and are safer.
Wax seal should NEVER EVER be considered for low acid, unsweetened with sugar foods. Consult a reliable resource such a a current Ball Blue Book or your local county or state food extension service here in the US. Outside the states, not sure.
Thank you for the cheer up. I really needed it. We had to put down our very senior cat today. He was my baby, had him since he was a 4 week old rescue. Best cat ever. I miss him so much 😭
I'm so sorry. I went through the same thing a couple months ago. Mine was 15 and we had him since he was 3 months. I miss my boy too. I wish you peace right now.
My heart goes out to you with so much love and empathy. I just lost my 16 year old girl kitty to possible cancer that made her stage 3 kidney disease worse. It was 2 days ago and she took a bit over 12 hours to pass away in my arms naturally. She was my daughter essentially. Animals can be so much more than just "pets", they are our family. I feel like a part of my soul left when she did. I feel for you and hope that time helps heal some of the pain.
She's got a ring on her finger. There is one lucky dude out there... I'm trying to do canning but I might be overthinking it. You make it look so simple. Thank you :)
Thanks for the fun idea. Sold my brother on making the roasted roots for 'coffee' and I didn't roast my foraged roots dark so I can use in Vermouth and D&B root beer.
Anyhow, one thing I'll add from jelly making: if you don't want to monitor the syrup temperature with precision, I just do what my mom did: put a porcelain saucer to be chilled in freezer and dab some of the jelly after boiling atop the saucer to see how it sets. Your jelly looks to me like you could have cooked it a bit longer to get a bit more set had you wanted it-though obviously not exactly the same texture nor viscosity as honey.
When I was little (almost 25 years ago), my grandmother and my aunt, used to do vegan honey out of dandelions. It tasted just like honey and the texture, viscosity, stickiness, etc. were on point. They didn't have access to any fancy equipment or ingredients, but even so, They managed to get to an amazing result. Too bad that I don't have the recipe...
Are your grandmother or aunt able to give you the recipe, perhaps?
@@AlishaArlene Sadly, they all passed away when I was little. It never crossed my mind to write the recipe while they were still alive...
Is normal honey not classed as vegan?🤔
@@jamiecurran3544 Nope. Normal honey is not vegan.
@@iis.1989 Well thanks!, you learn new things all the time!😁✌
Lol the "speaks in foreign language" when she says itadakimasu
AHHHH SHES SO CUTE and you can tell how hard she works to put out quality videos
So true! Oh and im absolutely sure im smitten with her sweet character & lovely personality..on top the fact shes so considerate & passionate about her subjects!! (@@)
I learned recently that dandelions pull calcium up from deep in the soil and stores it in the flower and leaves of the plant. This sounds like a good natural way to get that extra calcium if you are lacking
We live in the southern part of France and my husband's cousin introduced me to mimosas jelly...it was delicious 😋
Another wildflower that's really interesting is Chicory, apparently it's roots used to be used in the south as a coffee substitute during the civil war... I'm sure there's other uses for it too
It's still used widely as a coffee substitute for those who have high blood pressure problem.
@@ss-wu1vp I've seen it added to coffees, but I've never seen a purely chicory version before
Me and my younger brother made the fried dandelions!!! They were surprisingly really good 😂😂😂 also your channel is so heart warming 😌❤️
I made some Monday. I liked them but they could have used pepper. My daughter wasn’t a fan.
I grew up over in then West Germany. We knew families who would go into the dandelion fields minutes after the rain to pick the heads of the blooms. Headed home, and immediately made their dandelion honey. Thank you for sharing this.
I made this yesterday and I LOVE it! I used smaller jelly jars so I can share them. I kind of expected it to be a little grassy tasting, but to me it tastes exactly like honey! It's very good. Thank you Emmy, for sharing the recipe!
I love the "what!?" Sound effect it makes me laugh
Love your work, I'm a pessimist so it's nice to hear you're burning appreciation for different foods and cultures, brings me out of my melancholy.
I would love to make things like this because weeds are flowers too !! Weeds we condemn in the US are actually staple plants in different countries which I find so interesting. Anything can have its own use
Agree
"See? My toaster agrees" 🍞
It cracked me loool 🤣
Emmy, love ya
"That's what they used to do in the pioneer days."
I don't think you need to go back that far, lol. People still can regularly to this day. In fact canning has seen a major resurgence in the last decade or so. Which is great!
I dehydrated my dandelions and separating them was SO easy! I did that so I had more later in the year for anything from more jelly to balms.
It's a perfectly good jam in its own right. it's my favourite personally
I grew up on corn cob jelly. Yet nother poor man's honey.
I like having dandelions in my yard. I don't know why people don't like seeing them.
They're good for your soil too, loosens it up if it's too compact.
So does your lovely Honeybees and thats a real good thing, isnt it?
I feel so proud I actually did something before you, mine tasted like honey to me!
One reason to keep the ring off during storage is that water (from the canning process, or just humidity) can collect under the ring and cause the lid to rust, which can compromise the seal. You end up with a basket of rings in your silverware drawer but it's worth it to avoid rusty lids!
Finally a great channel recommendation by RUclips again. Looks wholesome and quite worthwhile.
All the dandelieons in my area, have already turned into clocks ;c (its a really big field, i normaly make tea with a basket of them!)
Love the lights & touch of greenery in the room, gives it some life/colour :) Just wondering, if the walls in the background are done? Love the new setup!
Your awesome Emmy! I’ll keep you and your family and kids in my prayers during this tough time and I just wanted to say I love your videos!
Dandelion is also a great ingredient in homemade bread. I use only the yellow leaves for bread, and add them before I start kneading. For two big loaves of bread, I find 25 flowers suitable. Instead of sugar, I sometimes use my homemade dandelion sirup. Dandelion sirup is super delicious on yogurt.
"What's the different between jam and jelly?"
"....don't answer that."
Love your enthusiasm it really lightens up my day!💛
“Jarate!”
Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! I have dandelions growing in various places but now I'm thinking of really propagating them to make this.
Also, thank you for showing that this can be water bathed and canned for shelf storage.
This is brilliant! Even the laziest gardener could keep a dandelion patch.
My friend when we go walking around the school yard, there is a lot of dandelions, and she just picks them up and eats them....

ohh~
*face of pure disgust*
i like it
I like dandelions, they are a beautiful spring flower
I just made dandelion honey two weeks ago! It‘s very common here in Austria and a nice thing to do in spring. It tastes just like honey, especially if you add more sugar and cook an actual syrup. :)
This makes me want to make jelly from store bought juice.
Honey!!! 😍😍
Love the shirt, Emmy!! 🖤
we used to eat this when we were kids. it’s also why i love real honey
Last summer I made jelly from peony petals using a similar method, which really did taste like honey, and from that point on I got obsessed with making preserves from my mama's flowers. I want to try this recipe as well. Much love to you, Emmy.💕🌸
"Toast is good."
Love this!❤️
I experience joy in watching a Japanese woman cooking odd foods.
Store your jars with the rings off. If the lid pops, but the ring is on it, air will get in, but mold generally won't, so botulism can silently set up inside without you knowing. But if the lid pops off and there's no ring holding it down, mold can get in and set up and you will see that it is ruined.
Yess!!!! Another dandelion recipe! I have soooo many of these in my backyard..
🙌🏼
I picked and ate my first dandelion leaf salad. I love dandelions as flowers, too!
I have loads of dandelions in my yard. Picked this morning. Making the tea tonight.
You just made my day, Emmy! Sending lots of love! ❤️
Aww...I so glad. ❤️
It's legit! We've been making it for 3 years so far. And it's fantastic.
dandelions are wonderful they help many soil issues in your yard, they pop up for a reason. Thank you for sharing this recipe
I was onboard till we got to *4 cups of sugar*
"poor man's honey"
Shit's in a weird place when letting bugs just literally exist is considered prohibitively expensive.
I'll have to try this one day, so many dandelion growing the yard every spring & it's really good for you.
So, is the lemon juice just a flavor thing, or does it contribute to the whole process on a chemical level like when making cheese?
This is sooooooooo cool!!
Now I'm craving honey 🍯
i made this, worked super hard on it, no one likes and no one will eat it and i have 3 jars to eat by myself... awesome, thank u for the visual instructions.
My grandma used to make them back when I was a young. I loved it!
OMG I love the shirt! We watch the governors daily briefings and quote her "knock it off" all the time! #rhodeislander
