Using sound judgment to be more self-reliant.
This easy dandelion jelly recipe uses less sugar than most flower jelly recipes, creating a light and delicious jelly.
To make your dandelion jelly, you’ll need dandelion blossoms, water, lemon juice, sugar, Pomona’s Pectin and calcium water. (Calcium water is included in every box of Pomona’s Pectin).
I like this recipe because it has no artificial food coloring and much less sugar than most dandelion jelly recipes.
…Wine out of dandelions? You bet! Making homemade dandelion wine is a longstanding family tradition. We don’t make it every year, but I do like to keep a few bottles on hand for company.
The taste of this dandelion wine is rich, golden and warming – more like a good brandy than a wine. I’ve had friends who don’t normally like wine comment that they do enjoy this “spring tonic”.
When I was a little girl, I remember my grandmother making potato pancakes quite regularly, usually on Friday nights. (Potatoes were cheap, and stored well in the unheated basement of grandma’s farmhouse.)
With six kids to feed, mom appreciated this budget friendly food, too. Both mom and grandma always served their pancakes with homemade applesauce.
When I was looking through The Garden Fresh Vegetable Cookbook, the potato latkes reminded me of grandma’s potato pancakes.
…Back in 2004, my sister, my mom and I had Easter brunch recipes published in Taste of Home magazine for their “Getting in the Theme of Things” feature.
The main theme of our meal was Easter bonnets. We had a sweet salad and dessert decorated to look like bonnets. We also served Make-Ahead Brunch Bake and Caramel-Pecan Cinnamon rolls.
In this article, I’ll share the Easter brunch bake main dish and the Bavarian cream Easter bonnet dessert, plus more Easter brunch ideas and recipe links.
…Most homemade lotion recipes involve quite a few ingredients, blenders and more mess than I’d prefer to clean up. In contrast, all you need for these hard lotion bars is three ingredients, one pot, and molds – that’s it!
You can even use muffin tins if you don’t have other molds, since the bars use all natural ingredients.
