Raspberry Vinegar

While looking at recipes on Newspapers.com, I came across this 1862 recipe, recommended for the aid of sick and wounded civil war soldiers.

  "It makes an agreeable and refreshing beverage and those who desire to do something for the aid of the sick and wounded soldiers, cannot prepare anything more acceptable than a quantity of this Raspberry vinegar."

It's not quite raspberry season here in Pa, but we may attempt a batch once it is.

Farmers Almanac Dandelion Jelly

First Batch, April 2017

"Jelly made from dandelions is similar in taste to spring honey. Try making some of your own with this recipe!" I was skeptical - but it truly does taste like honey!  Just...  not as healthy, with a lot more processed sugar used.  :-)
