Ingredients

1	quart	dandelion flowers
2	quarts	water
2	tablespoons	lemon juice
1 3/4	ounces	fruit pectin, dry	powdered
5 1/2	cups	sugar

Directions

Pick bright, fresh dandelion blossoms and pack the quart container pretty tightly.

This is going to require a lot of dandelion blossoms!

Rinse quickly in cold water to remove any insects/dirt on the petals.

Don't leave the blossoms in the water for very long though, as they will be a little the worse for wear.

Snip off the stem and green collar under each blossom, so that only the petals are left.

This takes about four hours.

In an enamel saucepan, boil the dandelion petals in water for 3 minutes, or a little longer, until the water takes on their color.

Cool and strain, pressing against the petals with your fingers to extract all of the dandelion juice.

Measure out 3 cups of dandelion liquid.

Add the lemon juice and fruit pectin.

Stir to combine.

Bring to a boil, using a large kettle.

Add the sugar, stirring to mix well.

Continue stirring and boil the mixture for 2 and 1/2 minutes.

Pour into hot sterilized jelly jars and seal.

Process for five minutes in a boiling water bath.

Yield: Five 1/2 pint jars.

Chicken Dish

Very good. I used cooked chicken breast and canned chicken rather than the baked and deboned. In the future, I would not put the cheese on at the beginning of the baking. Rather I would bake the dish for about 25-30 minutes then top with the cheese to melt the last 5. I felt that the cheese being on the top inhibited the rolls from baking completely. the edges that were not covered with cheese were very flaky while the cheese covered areas seemed a bit soggy.
