It's hard to believe that dandelions are not native to the Americas considering how prevalent they have become! It's thought that the first dandelion flowers were introduced to what is now the United States sometime in the 1600s. They may have even first come on the Mayflower, as early settlers commonly used dandelions as both food and medicine. They spread quickly. So quickly in fact that it's now hard to imagine a time here where we didn't have dandelions everywhere! Dandelions are native to Eurasia (Europe & Asia).
Please try to make this at home if you live in an area that supports dandelions. Dandelion jelly is INCREDIBLE and underrated.
Dandelion Jelly, Justine's own
1 cup of dandelion petals
2 cups of water
The juice from half of a lemon
1 cup of sugar
Half a box of pectin powder, or 0.8 oz
Starting from mid-morning through the afternoon collect dandelion flowers. Do not collect them in the dark as the flowers will be closed, making them harder to process. Once collected rinse them in water to remove any dust. Using scissors or your fingers remove the yellow petals from the green stem. It's ok if you are not 100% perfect in the removal of the green base, just be sure to remove as much as is realistically possible. Boil 2 cups of water. Once boiling pour the hot water over your flower petals. Allow it to then sit for 1 day (24 hours is ideal and no more than a day and a half). Strain the dandelion tea in a fine mesh sieve. Into this tea add lemon juice & pectin and bring to a simmer. Once simmering add your sugar, stirring all the while. Simmer for 2-3 minutes more only and remove from your heat. Pour into a jar and set aside for 24-48 hours, or until the pectin has firmed up the liquid into jelly.
Yes I will and they are really great for your health. I have picked the greens and mix them with kale and mustard cooked with some bacon fat and topped with hard boiled egg and vinegar, yummy! Spring tonic!
Thanks for the receipt.
@@karenwright8556 My grandmother used to refer to Dandelion’s as a “spring tonic”.
I have to try that. Do y'all have kudzu vines in your area? You can make kudzu jelly.
Very wonderful! What about potential pesticides?
When I was little, my grandma would fix me fried dandelion blossoms. She soaked them in salt water for about an hour. Baptized them in egg, rolled them in flour and fried them up in a skillet full of lard.
I've never heard of this, definitely going to try, thanks for sharing
Sounds delicious. What does it taste like?
@@MoMsUuH it's been 50 years since my grandma fixed them for me, so my memory is a bit cloudy. What I remember is they tasted like fried green tomatoes.
Sounds similar to Elderflower frittas .
@@MoMsUuHmy Sicilian grandmother would make them that way also it kind of tasted like a mild broccoli to me.
Love that you matched a bright sunny yellow dress to the theme of Dandelions! 🥰
I recently moved to the USA for work, and I just wanted to say how wonderful your beautiful country is!! I'm from South Africa!!! I've been enjoying your channel for 3 years now. Take care guys ❤
Justine, you looked especially lovely with your hair in that style. It really accentuates your beauty!
I was going to say it struck me as truly in character for early 1800s!
I was just coming to comment the same. And I love the yellow dress!
Thank you! 😭
Wedding hair! ❤
Yellow is definitely her color
Dandelions are wonderful! I use them in soap😁
Interesting
and wine
I have never heard of dandelion jelly but it looks good. I have been told that my great grandpa use to make dandelion wine.
HOW? How did he make dandelion wine? I've never heard of that.
I can't seem to find anything like dandelion jelly anywhere here in SoCal (at least where I'm living), and it's something I've always wanted to experience myself, so you better believe I'm going to try my hand at making some in the days to come! Thank you for sharing this receipt with us, Justine! It's greatly appreciated! 😊
Also that view in the first shot of the video is absolutely STUNNING! It's springtime, everybody! Rejoice! 😃🎉
Growing up in Massachusetts in the 80s it was a school field trip staple to go to places such as Old Sturbridge Village, Plymouth Plantation and also on a long field trip, Colonial Williamsburg. I was always interested in the ways people lived in the "old days" History is awesome!
Dandelions make good tea and wine.
My sister adds the petals to shortbread cookies. My niece and nephew love them.
My great grandmother used to make dandelion wine. Two types, leaf and flower. Delicious!
mine did also - just for medicinal use
My grandmother used to make it too. It was wonderful!!! I so wish I'd thought to get her to write down her recipe (or receipt? :) )!
The humble dandelion is so versatile. The blossoms can be fried, the leaves used in salads, jellied like Justine has done here. One little "weed" was the difference between having something to eat and not on some days during the Depression (according to my uncles).
I've been wanting to do this 😁 been seeing alot of dandelions.thank you 👍🏾
I never had dandelion jelly. That sounds interesting. Keep up the awesome videos and stay awesome.
You stay awesome!
I make dandelion salve for sore, rough hands and to help as an anti-inflammatory. I love it! The leaves can also be dried and used for tea as well.
I made my wedding cake with dandelion jelly melted and brushed onto each vanilla cake layer before the buttercream. It was heavenly. Happy Wedding Week!
How interesting. I knew dandelions can be used in salads, to make wine, and can be in soap, but I didn't know jelly was a thing.
Always love watching these videos.
the dandilion tucked into the apron is such a sweet touch
Everyone is talking about dandelion wine, but did you also know the leaves can be used in salads and stir fry. Plus you can ground the roots for coffee! I definitely plan on foraging as many of these wonderful plants as possible when I start homesteading
That looks absolutely idyllic! Wood-fired cooking and a forest home 🥰 You must have the most amazing meals and surrounding views. Delicious dandelion jelly!
My mom used to make what she called Dandelion Honey. It looked a lot like what you just made. I'm planning yo try to make some this year once our dandelion's start to grow (still too cold right now but hopefully by mid-April)
I didn't know they were edible!! 😮 this jelly is a treat to look at, too! 🥰
Dandelion greens are edible too! They're great-- VERY strong and somewhat bitter-- so they're really excellent to throw a handful of into other things like colcannon or rice dishes for some extra punchy greens flavors.
I love dandelion. Flowers for tea and the greens are delicious in salads.
Your channel is underrated especially your second channel, every video you posted and I'll get notified and I will put a single click on you're video. You're recipes is very astonishing, makes me want to try that dandelions either!
I love dandelion season! I have been making dandelion jelly for a few years now and I love it! It is also a fun novelty gift! Last year I made lilac jelly, which was also delightful!
We used to make this. My grandmother made dandelion salad as well.
On a side note I love your jelly crock. I have several just like it. McCoy, Hull, and Roseville. Those are the names I collect. I have dinnerware, cookware, bakeware, decor. I simply love it. I got my first piece as a child. My grandmother gifted me a brown crock. She got welfare cheese (long ago Velveeta) in crocks with spring latches during the depression. I moved on to collect everything. I love my collection.
I’ve made Dandelion, Lilac as well as Violet jelly.
I make dandelion jelly every year. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a favorite.
I have such an overabundance of dandelions in my yard so this will be great to try when they pop up!
Make certain your yard is not accessible to dogs ~~ 😉
@@trishaporte duely noted ✅️
@@leighsmith9409 Old timers would run out of “Berry” jellies before berries were ready to pick, so they substituted with what they had. Lilac and Violet jellies are quite elegant as well as beautiful!!
I never thought of dandelions as anything but weeds-but this has given me a whole new perspective on these “weeds”. It looks delicious-like sun shine ☀️
My grandmother used to make salad from the greens.
There are so many “weeds” that are edible and beneficial….early day medicine
We call it dandelion honey and my grandma used to make it every year! Now me and my sister continue the tradition 😊
wow....that is something to new to learn, i never expect dandelion can make is into a Jelly. Awesome recipe. Thanks !!! Now i can't wait for you guys to make bar soap.
Hi guys! I made this dandelion jelly according to your recipe. And it turned out so good! I told a friend about it and she was so excited to try it so I gave her a jar. I told another friend about it and she wants a jar Also. so it looks like i'm gonna have to pick a lot more dandelions. Thank you so much for this recipe. I really enjoyed making it. I have really never been a good jelly Maker. But this turned out perfect. It tastes so good. I had a big jug of apple juice and I decided to make some Spiced apple jelly the day after I made the dandelion jelly. I put the same spices in as I would do my apple better. Which was cinnamon and cloves and I put a lot of brown sugar and white sugar in and it turned out so good! I really love all of your recipes so much. I'm watching your apple fritter video as I type this.I can't wait to try that as well. You did this one on april 13, 2024. Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos that you guys do. We watch both channels and have been for many years. We laugh so hard and we Have also cried along with you at times Also. We love you to pieces. We are looking forward to seeing the video of your wedding! We are so excited and happy for you. Both you two are perfect for each other. Love and hugs, Tonda in OH-IO
An old-fashioned Dutch way to eat dandelions is as "molsla" (mole's lettuce). Put a bit of soil over a dandelion plant (or look for a molehill), so the young leaves start growing but stay white because of lack of light. These white leaves are not as tough as normal dandelion leaves.
Wow the people back then used everything in nature. Great!! 👍
A lady in Azerbaijan made dandelion honey on the site Kand Dadi /A taste of village life. She does most of her cooking outdoors. It's amazing the techniques she uses now are so similar to the 1800s.
Happy Palm Sunday! Where you eating at? Holidays are with family. I hope Easter brings you good fortune!!
I was raised like this on my great-aunt’s farm. It brings back so many fond memories and I can still smell the fireplace and hear the crackling of the wood. They were hard times but very, very good times 🥰🙏🏻
My dandelions are tall enough to be weed whacked, I guess that’s too old… never tried dandelions in anything before, I will have to try next year…
So long as they have a yellow bud and not turned to “poofs”.
All natural ingredients and looks superb.
We had a bumper crop of dandelions this year. But i mowed them when i mowed the grass. Next year i will be making this jelly. I only wish i had seen this earlier.
I did it! And it is wonderful! My husband was amazed at how good it tasted. I made 2 ball jelly jars with this recipe. Will do it again. Oh, and I also put a piece of cheese cloth in the sieve to catch any pieces.
Как я завидую оооооооочень завидую этой девушке где она живет и ее домик такой милый уютный , полна гармонии одно наслаждение ❤❤❤
2:08 Just got my Samson Historical Catalog...with beautiful you & Ron on the front cover!! I ordered the double ruffled cap to go with my new colonial outfit that I bought Tuesday in historic Williamsburg! Took the 6 hr train ride from Philadelphia & enjoyed 2 days shopping & relaxing. Looking forward to your wedding day! ❤❤ 😊
I always look forward to your videos!
I was surprised that dandelion flowers could be made into jelly! You’ve taught me something once again! It looks yummy Justine! Can’t wait to watch you and Ron chew and chat about it!
Very interesting, it didn’t even occur to me that you could make jelly out of dandelions. Thank you for sharing and I love your yellow dress.
Y U M. Can't wait to try. LOVE your channel! Thank you! 🌼
Oh so happy you guys are back on, I love your shows.
Try Pomona Pectin. The grocery store brands are not what they used to be- pure pectin. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for recipe , Justine . The dandelion jam looks great, especially on fresh bread.
Love your yellow dress.
My Dad taught me to cook fried dandelions. He told me they’re a delicacy some places overseas.
You look lovely in yellow!! You are also wearing your hair different. It also looks lovely. Very flattering! I have been wanting to make dandelion jelly for the last couple of years, but just haven't done it. I will have to actually do it this year.
Thank you for sharing your lovely videos! Me and my children love them! We just used up the last of our dandelion jelly from last year, and my kids are hoping for us to make it again this year. So, we are looking forward to spring so we can make some more (we are up North, so a little bit of time to go). ❤
My dad used to make dandelion wine 🥰 I'm going to make the jelly this spring, thank you for the receipt 🥰
Looks great
Love all your videos!
Nicely done, Justine. I'd imagine that the dandelion jelly is a welcome first taste of springtime after a long, cold and dark winter.
Take care and God Bless.
Great job Justine! Dandelion jelly is a real Spring treat!
Justine, you look so pretty ! love the yellow dress. Your hair looks beautiful, wear it like this for your wedding !
Dandelion blossoms taste divine as tea, too! Naturally sweet, so the tea doesn't need sweetening. Too bad we just got 8" of snow yesterday. No dandelions here! Yet.
Looks like I know what to do with my dandelions when they come up in spring 😂.
Your hair looks beautiful today Justine! I live in an area that dandelions are plentiful so I will try this this summer! Love your channel!
Aw thank you! 😁I had never tried to wear it like that before.
I agree so much with the others that was saying how beautiful your hair and your dress are it looks very much like spring thanks for the video
Looking pretty in your dandelion yellow dress! Am definitely going to try this!!!
Ideas to look up old receipes..Edible flowers in salads. Chicken noodle soup homemade when its cold again. Corn bread and ham and beans was a favorite of great grand father in Ireland. He learned corn bread from here when he landed in New York
Another great video Justine/Ron. A new hair style AND a Cover Shoot to boot all in one week!! I was happy & surprised when i got my SH magazine today!! Almost looks like the proposal shot. Huge Congrats!! @EarlyAmerican
Love your channel and videos because they are full of good information and hacks from the past.
I appreciate that! Thank you for being here with me.
I eat dandelions in a salad… especially in the spring when the tender leaves start to grow! I absolutely love the 2 of you and I’ve learned a lot from your cooking and from the part of what’s happened in a certain year! Can’t wait for your wedding! Hope to visit your part of the country some day !!! Love you guys!!!!❤️
Thank you, I am going to try this. I had never heard of dandilion jam.
I remember in the early 80s, my mother and I were picking dandelions on the lawn near an old furniture store in Sovgavan, for jam. What a delicious and fragrant jam it was.🤤
I was watching a documentary on the Holocaust. This one woman, who was a child during her time at a camp, survived by eating dandelions and other edible grasses. I watched a channel of a woman who grew up here in the US during the depression and war. Dandelion salad was a regular meal in their weekly rotation.
We had dandelion salad growing up.
I make dandelion jelly every spring. It’s delightful!
Justine,
I made this jelly and oh my goodness...its delicious!
Thank you for making this video 😊
just started steeping my petals, can't wait for tomorrow! Thank you for the recipe Justine! :))
Can't wait to make dandelion. Jelly.... Looks so good. ♥️
This is a big hit around our house. My daughter and I also make dandelion cookies and they are delicious ❤
Cool! Now this looks like something I'm gonna hafta to try out! Thanks Justine!You are definitely inspirational! 😊❤
Love your efforts and the work done in your channel!
I love the pace of your videos Justine. The are so calming to watch.
Wow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 very nice video ❤ first time watching this recipe 👍🏻😍 Allah bless you and your family ameen ❤ lots of love and respect
I'm a huge huge fan of dandelions so this is wonderful !
I'm definitely going to try this. One summer I made jelly from lavender flowers and it was fantastic. I love experimenting.
Now the kids and I have a great activity to try when the dandelions start to pop up! So very curious to taste it now…
Our son and daughter would always bring me dandelions from our yard and I would put them in a glass to display them. Found out years later my husband told them that I liked those yellow flowers so that way they would pick them for him. 😅
I love watching you preparing food. You always look so happy and content 💜
You can make tea with the dandelion roots.
Yes! I’ve made it before. Very tasty. Reminds me of a honey flavor. ❤
So does corn cob jelly!
I've never had dandelion jelly before but I'd like to try it. That looks good!
I wish I could cook my bread this way 😊 merci du Québec!
Wow, Justine you look fantastic. I use Dandelions for making an oil infusion for arthritic joints. I'm defensively going to try making jelly.
Cheers from the pacific northwest , Canada side.
I'm definitely going to try this recipe as soon as it stops snowing in Chicago, that is 😂.
I have never made jelly before, but I have picked dandelions from my yard (because I know that I don't spray any pesticides) and made dandelion salads for my husband and I to try them. I used an avocado dressing, and it really was delicious!
Can you imagine making this specialty treat with 6 kids, pregnant with your 7th and all the rest of the daily cooking, cleaning, animal husbandry, gardening and sewing to do 🤯 women were tough in olden times
Still popular here in France, my grandma use to do that, it was call cramailotte here
NB: to have more taste my grandma used to boil them and mixed them, also ad orange to it, and then let sit for the night
Dandelion jelly....how interesting! I will have to copy your recipe Justine, and try it. Your yellow dress looks very pretty on you too!
This is on my to do list. I made Redbud jelly and wild violet jelly last spring. I highly recommend them. Thank you ❤ Much love
So nice!!..and many health benefits. My 14 yr old daughter reminds us of you bc you share the same mannerisms and she talks like you sometimes. We loved it❤
This is exactly what I needed to relax today.Thanks Justine.
Lovely video :) I'm going to try this
