Dandelion Jelly
---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02 
      Title: DANDELION JELLY
 Categories: Desserts, Jams
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1 qt Dandelion blossoms
      2 qt Water
      2 tb Fresh lemon juice
  1 3/4 oz Powdered fruit pectin
  5 1/2 c  Sugar
 
  Pick bright, fresh dandelion blossoms and pack the
  quart container pretty tightly.  This is going to
  require a lot of dandelion blossoms!  Rinse quickly in
  cold water to remove any insects/dirt on the petals.
  Don't leave the blossoms in the water for very long
  though, as they will be a little the worse for wear.
  
  Next, pull up a chair somewhere comfortable, as this
  part is going to take awhile...Snip off the stem and
  green collar under each blossom, so that only the
  petals are left. This takes about four hours!
  
  In an enamel saucepan, boil the dandelion petals in
  water for 3 minutes, or a little longer, until the
  water takes on their color.  (I boiled the petals for
  4 minutes until I liked the color better.)
  
  Cool and strain, pressing against the petals with your
  fingers to extract all of the dandelion juice.  (Or
  you can cheat and line a sieve with moistened
  cheesecloth and strain it that way.)
  
  Measure out 3 cups of dandelion liquid.  Add the lemon
  juice and fruit pectin.  Stir to combine.
  
  Bring to a boil, using a large kettle.  Add the sugar,
  stirring to mix well. Continue stirring and boil the
  mixture for 2 and 1/2 minutes.
  
  Pour into hot sterilized jelly jars and seal.  Process
  for five minutes in a boiling water bath.
  
  Yield:  Five 1/2 pint jars.
