I never knew you could make jelly from lilacs. The jelly sure is beautiful and I'm sure it is delicious. Thank you for sharing.

[@Oklahomawildflowers]

Love Lilacs what a great way to preserve them through the year!

Hi and fellow collaborator here! New to your channel and LOVED this recipe you shared thank you so much!! I just did lemon balm jelly for the collab but I’ve never tried the lilac. Looks sooo good!! 😊❤thank you for sharing!!

[@kewpiefan72]

What a good idea to use the nail clippers (sterilized, of course)! Perfect for precision! I was surprised by how dark the tea was. How beautiful!

[@dawnhartwell8117]

I love how you choose to do blossom jellies. They’re so unique. That was really cool to see it change color when you added the lemon juice. Thank you for sharing this wonderful jelly recipe.

I have never made anything out of flowers but I do have a large lilac tree out back. I'll just have to wait until next spring since it's already bloomed for this year. What a beautiful color. Thank you for sharing!

This is something to look forward to maybe next year, we got a late freeze this year just as ours were starting to bloom. I think I might try this recipe with our Hollyhocks.

I have forgotten the work involved to make jelly, thanks.

[@MilknHoneyHeritageFarmz]

So yummy! I was too late to pick mine

🤨you skipped the step on how to box the cat so it stays out of the way - I clearly saw a neatly boxed cat, Sir. 😆 Awesome video, Muddy! 🤩 ❤

[@frankmarullo228]

My lilac bush seems to only flower every few years and I have no clue why. But when it does I'm gonna try this. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......
