I love this as is, but next time I plan on leaving out the lemon zest. It overtakes the flower flavor a bit. Thanks Rita!

    I made two batches of this jelly and had nothing but compliments on it. The only alteration I made was leaving out the lemon zest since I wanted a totally clear jelly. I hope I have enough to last me until next spring. I have a whole new respect for dandelions now, they are welcome in my lawn anytime! Thanks for the recipe. Update: I won 2 Blue Ribbons with this jelly at the Country Fair in 2006. Trying again in 2007!!

    Again, I had the honor of receiving a gift of this from the chef herself:D The delicate honey taste was right on the mark and was exactly what I thought of when I tried this. BF will also enjoy this quite a bit as he likes honey on his toast. Thanks Rita!

    Just the most amazing jelly, made even tastier because I had it made by the original Chef herself, Rita! My DH compared the flavour as a cross between jelly and honey. It has a light, delicate flavour that is not too sweet. We just love this stuff and I can't wait to try making my own! Thanks Rita, you are a doll!
