Since we have chosen the Dandelion as the official plant badge of Xmarks, I thought I would post my grandmother's recipe for Dandelion wine. It was included in a disc that my son made us for Christmas. He copied a bunch of old hand written and old recipe newspaper articles to a Cd, from an old notebook he found in my Grandmother's house. There are 55 recipes dating from the 1920s to the early 1950s.



This recipe was dated April, 1926. The one time I ever remember her making this wine was when I was 10 or so. I remember that she strained the mixture and threw out the Dandelion flowers. The birds ate them and got so drunk that some of them couldn't fly. I am going to try making this in the Spring, as soon as the Dandelion's bloom.
