QUEEN ANNE'S LACE FLOWER JELLY
This is a very old recipe that makes a pretty, light pink, lemony flavored jelly. You can also substitute rose petals for this jelly. If you want a bit more color add a tiny amount of red food coloring at the end of the recipe as specified. This is optional. A neighbor of mine gave me this recipe and told me her mother made it...

Steps:
- 1. Pick flowers in an area tha has NOT been sprayed and is NOT too close to the road so you do not get unwanted chemicals in your jelly. Be sure to cut flower heads so you are getting almost all flowers and no stem. Wash flowers to get our any bugs and dust. Pack flowers tightly to measure.
- 2. Drain and cover flowers with boiling water. Cover the container. Let stand, covered, at room temperature, for at least 5 hours or overnight. You are making a tea like liquid or infusion.
- 3. Prepare jars and lids for canning using boiling water to sterilize. Then prepare jars for jelly by setting upright on a clean towel and placing one small fresh flower or a few petals in each jar. Strain the infusion through cheese cloth. Measure 4 1/2 cups of the strained infusion into a large kettle. Stir together 1/4 cup sugar and the pectin and add to infusion. Add remaining sugar. Boil hard for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and food coloring, if using. Skim the foam from the top of the jelly with a metal spoon. Immediately pour into hot, clean jars and cover with lids. Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes at a full boil.
