Have you ever made dandelion jelly?  It's one of my favorites to make, but this year I was so busy when the dandelions were out that I completely missed them!  sad.png  That is the only wildflower jelly I've made so far, but I I'm going to try sumac jelly in the fall.   What kinds have you made?

We have a ton of wild blackberries growing around us. Hubby thought we had some black raspberries down by the creek. Also, have wild red raspberries growing. I'm most excited to get a hold of the blackberries! Seems like it's been forever since I've had my hands on some good blackberries. Might have to make some jam out of them! Definitely will be making a pie out of the blackberries, too!

We did red-top clover, dandelion, honey suckle, white clover and rose.  I can't wait to do kudzu this fall too!  Dandelion is my fave too!

I'm not at all familiar with wildflower jellies. Do you eat them on toast or use them any way you'd use a regular jam/jelly? Or do you add them to recipes to bring a little something extra? Fill me in!

     tongue.pngSounds perfectly normal for both kids and hubbies. My mom once said a wife finishes raising what the mother in law started, Ive found that to be true lol.  Have you tried canning your own crannberry sauce? I've found home canned is better than anything you can get at the supermarket.D.gif

I'm not sure about the others, but dandelion jelly we use just like any other jelly.  Tastes like a cross between honey and mild apple.  And the color is so pretty!

My FIL mentioned wild violet jelly that his GM used to make. He swears it's the best ever!
