DANDELION WINE (FROM MOMMY BYLER) | |
1 gallon dandelion blossoms 3 lb. sugar 2 lemons 2 oranges 1/2 oz. yeast A little ginger root, if desired Pour 1 gallon boiling water over flowers. Cover. Leave for 3 days, stir every day. Then strain into a pan, add lemons and oranges and ginger root. Boil this gently 1/2 hour. Cool. Then add yeast and leave to ferment for 3 days. Then cork lightly. Leave for 2 months, then bottle. NOTE: Recipe says to spread yeast on toast. I don't know how Grandma did. I asked Cris and Sara and wrote Katie. They didn't seem to know. But maybe in those days they had yeast in small blocks and this was the way they dissolved it. Recipe also mentions putting wine in "cask." Katie mentioned she doesn't know what a "cask" is and I don't either. Many of us have made wine. I am sure we can adapt this recipe to our own ways. NOTE FROM RAY KATIE: I remember being by Grandma and Grandpa for a couple of day in the summer and picking dandelions to make this wine. |
