Steps:
- To make an infusion, prepare 2 cups of clover blossoms by trimming away any green portions. Then rinse blossoms in a colander & shaking off any remaining water.Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan, turn the heat off, then add the clover blossoms, covering the pan after blooms are placed in water. Allow them to steep for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the flowers from the liquid. Measure two cups of the infusion and return it to the saucepan - the mixture will rise quite a bit when it's boiling so it's best to use an over-sized pan.
- Add lemon juice and sugar and turn heat to medium high, stirring constantly. Bring the infusion to a hard boil that won't stir down. (220 degrees)
- Add the pectin and boil for two minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to avoid boiling over.
- Ladle jelly into hot, sanitized jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Screw on 2-part canning lids. Place jars in boiling water of a water-bath canner for 5 minutes.
- Remove jars and place on a towel, out of drafts and allow to cool for 24 hours. Test the lids to make sure the jars are properly sealed after that time.
JELLY..REDBUD JELLY IN THE SPRING
Our local Museum made the "Redbud Jelly" and says it is wonderful, using buds/flowers from the tons of "Redbud Trees" that grow through our area. I got the recipe from this web site: http://farmpath.blogspot.com/2010/10/redbud-jelly-recipe.html, My Life as I See It - The Musings of a Country Girl On a Hobby Farm...Posted by Farm Girl at 10/14/2010 (photo's are not from the above web site), Pam E, used this recipe and took photos as she made it. If you make it, be sure you use buds free from pesticides.

Steps:
- Place 2 cups (up to 3 cups) of rinsed redbud flowers in a jar and just barely cover with approx. 2 cups of boiling water. They will float, so push them down a couple of times. Cover, let stand 24 hours. After they cool to room temperature, stick them in the refridgerator. After 24 hours strain and discard the blossoms.
- To the 2 cups of the redbud extract, add 2-T of lemon juice, and 3-T of 'Sure Jell' powdered pectin. Bring to a boil and add 2 cups sugar and bring back to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Pour into jelly glasses and seal.
- NOTE(s) by Cin: Try making this with Splenda or Stevia (or what ever sugar-substitute you use) and make it Diabetic Friendly.
- ALSO a note of caution-check the Sure Jell instructions for how much to use if you're not using sugar, but Splenda or another sugar-free sweetener. It may take more to gel.

- Separate 4 cups of edible flower blossoms from their stems, carefully removing any green parts.
- Pour 4 cups boiling water over the top of the flower blossoms and allow the tea to infuse for about 10 minutes.
- Strain the floral tea into a saucepan or jam pot. Add the lemon juice, which will help bring out the best color in the jelly, but it's also required to balance the sugar in the recipe and help the pectin set. Beyond that, it adds acidity to help preserve the jelly, so don't skip the lemon!
- Bring the mixture to a boil and add the powdered pectin, stirring to dissolve. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute before adding sugar. (Note: Do not add the sugar at the same time as the pectin, or before the pectin, or the jell will not set.)

- Dandelion Jelly. I didn’t think it was possible until I tried it myself. This delicious jelly has a flavor like robust honey. I purchased a jar of this golden-hued delight at a local Mennonite grocery store and it was amazing.
- Wild Violet Jelly. If you prefer a jelly with a slightly tart taste, you will love wild violet jelly. Wild violets are fairly common in the United States, especially in the Pennsylvania spring time, but their growing season is very short.
- Lavender Jelly. Lavender has long been touted for its soothing, calming, and stress relieving properties and heavenly scent. This lovely flower is often used in sachets and pillows, infusions, and teas.
- Nasturtium Jelly. Nasturtiums are beautiful, brightly colored edible flowers that are terrific in salads, as garnishes, and stuffed with cream cheese.
- Bee Balm. Bee Balm, also known as Wild Bergamot, is a beautiful member of the mint family that attracts pollinators to your garden. Every part of the plant that grows above ground is edible, according to allnature.com.
- Johnny Jump Up Jam. If you love those tiny, edible blooms known as johnny jump ups, you might love making it into jam. These flowers boast high amounts of Vitamin A and C and sport a sweet flavor that resembles cinnamon.
- Clover Jelly. If you like the sweetness of honey, you’ll love this clover jelly. You are likely to find plenty of white clovers gracing your backyard, so put them to good use for this tasty jelly.
- Hibiscus Jelly. For a sweet and tangy twist on jelly, try this version of hibiscus jelly. It’s vibrant hue and delicious flavor makes it a great addition to all kinds of dishes, from pancakes to toast to ice tea.
- Daylilly Jelly. While Easter lilies are not edible, daylilies certainly are, with one caveat. You have to find the right kind. You’ll find a great recipe for daylily jelly here, alongside of a deep discussion on how to know if you have edible daylilies or their not-so-edible counterparts.
- Milkweed Flower Jelly. If you are into foraging, you may want to try your hand at milkweed flower jelly. There is some debate over whether or not milkweed is edible or toxic, however, experts seem to agree that properly prepared milkweed is edible and safe.
A MOM'S COUNTRY LIFE: RED CLOVER JELLY RECIPE

- The first thing you need to do is find the red clover. I live in the country, so all I have to do is walk to my field. I have seen it along roads too.
- Once you have them all picked, give them a rinse in cool water. You don't want any dirt or bugs in your Jelly!
- After rinsing, you will need to take the petals off. You grasp the tops the the petals holding the bottom green part with the other hand and gently pull.
- After you get all of the petals, grab a sauce pan that will comfortably hold 4 cups of water. Bring that to a boil and add all of the flowers. Let it steep in the covered pot overnight.
- Now is a great time to wash all of your jars and lids, make sure they dry thoroughly. If you want, you can also put them in a water bath to sterilize them.
- Put the whole mixture in the cheesecloth or strainer and get out as much liquid as you can. If you don't have either, you can use a regular strainer lined with coffee filters and use your hands to squeeze out the liquid.
- Now carefully measure out 2 cups of the infusion and add it back to the sauce pan or to a stock pot (I always use a stock pot, it helps to keep it from boiling over) over high heat.

- First, infuse the blossoms in the water. Place the blossoms in a heat resistant container and pour the boiling water over. Allow them to steep 8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to can, sterilize four 8-ounce jars or eight 4 ounce jars, keep hot. Heat lids and rings in hot water, keep warm but not boiling. Fill water bath canner and bring to boil.
- Strain the flowers out of the water. Squeeze dry. You should have 2 1/4 cup infused water. Add more water if needed. I allowed the strained liquid to sit in the refrigerator overnight, and then poured it off carefully. This allowed some of the particles to settle out of the infusion, resulting in a clearer jelly.
- Place the flower infusion, lemon juice and pectin in a large heavy bottom pot. Bring to a rolling boil. Add sugar all at once, return to boil. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Skim foam if needed. Remove from heat.
16 FLOWER JELLIES THAT'LL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF
From theprepperproject.com
- Honeysuckle Jelly. This is my family’s personal favorite. Every year, my children and I gather gallons of honeysuckle blossoms from the vines in our woods to make this amazing Honeysuckle Jelly.
- Violet Jelly. Violets love to grow wild in lawns, in cultivated flower beds, and along the edge of the woods. The blossoms are delicious eaten fresh, but they also make a fantastic and completely gorgeous Violet Jelly.
- Lilac Jelly. Lilacs are another edible blossom that make a delicious jelly . If you don’t happen to have any growing wild in your area, plant a bush in a sunny location in your yard and enjoy your own homemade lilac jelly straight from your own backyard!
- Dandelion Jelly. I know you have dandelions growing in your yard… or at least somewhere in your neighborhood! If you’ve been spraying these so-called weeds… stop it!
- Sunflower Jelly. Sunflowers are a great addition to your backyard homestead. Not only can you harvest their seeds to enjoy yourself or supplement your animal’s feed, but you can also make Sunflower Jelly from those lovely yellow petals.
- Kudzu Jelly. If you live in the South, no doubt you are all too familiar with Kudzu’s invasive ways. All along our highways you will find entire forests swallowed with this uncontrollable vine.
- Hedgerow Jelly. Wildflowers grow everywhere, so no matter where you live you can make some variation of this Hegderow Jelly. The flavors will vary depending on the blossom varieties you use, but the method would stay the same.
- Queen Anne’s Lace Jelly. Around here we call Queen Anne’s Lace “chigger bushes”, because they’re notoriously infested with tiny little bugs that will jump off of the white umbrella shaped blossoms and cause itchy bumps anywhere you have skin exposed.
- Lavender Jelly. Lavender is another beautiful plant to have growing all around your home. It has so many great uses, one of which of course is a heavenly Lavender Jelly.
- Elderflower Jelly. We usually allow our Elderflowers to mature into deep purple berries to make elderberry syrup, but if you have an abundance and would like to find an alternate use for your elder plants, Elderflower Vanilla Jelly is another great way to use this edible plant!
