We made Poor mans honey which is
2 cups dandelion tops ( the sunbursts ) with no greens we clip them off
1 cup water let steep for 24 hours in the end remove the flours and move to a saucepan then add 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 cups sugar
if you want at this point add 2 tables spoons of pectin to make jelly boil it for 15 mins and then into jars it goes,
The violet syrup is similar it is
1 cup violets no green
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
add 2 tables spoons of lemon juice to give it a light purple color or caster sugar to turn it blue. Boil for 15 mins then jar.
I'm currently in the process of making dandelion savle. I'm going go have to try your honey next time I have more.
