My Dear Reader, The space between us has grown these past months. I hope that you are still there, watching and waiting.
If so, I have a simple gift for you, the recipe for old-fashioned Dandelion Wine:
When the plant blooms, it is wine making time. Pick a peck of dandelion blooms and put them into a five-gallon crock. Pour five pounds of sugar over them in four and a half gallons of boiling water. Cool to a luke-warm temperature, then add two cakes of crumbled up yeast. Stir the wine every day for approximately fifteen days. Strain through two cloth strainers. The wine will be pale yellow and is ready to drink immediately, or be bottled for later.
Once again, I wish you a happy summer. My favorite time of the year.
