I haven’t been away from the house and garden for over a week. It’s not that I’m having to self isolate because I’m ill or anyone in my house is, I just stayed home like we’ve been asked to. Only I needed to go and get supplies and this is allowed, so I did and on the way home in the countryside, I pulled over and picked some dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) flower heads (a hat full and a bunch, which sounds weird as measurements go and I suppose it is). For it’s that time of year to make a pot or three of Dandelion clear jam. For as this is a vegan recipe, I’m not sure I want to call it “Honey”, but that it is a close resemblance to a clear one. Anyways, I washed and boiled the dandelions with a pinch of dry lavender flower heads. Drained the liquid, and to that I added nearly a whole bag of sugar and the juice of two lemons, simmered and then brought it back to a rolling boil. Once it hits the sticky as hell and tastes delish, it’s ready.
