Dandelion jam aka cramaillotte // Confiture de pissenlit alias cramaillotte [EN/FR]

Hello friends and food lovers! I hope you're all doing well đ
Did you know that you can do so many things with dandelions? You can eat the leaves in salads, but you can also eat the flowers in a salad, or incorporate them into cakes or even make jam!
In my garden, I have lots of dandelions; they're yellow, they're pretty. đž
But most of all, it reminded me of the time when @genesisledger and I tried making dandelion jam! We really enjoyed the experience, so we decided to try it again! And this time, I'm going to share our recipe with you đ
You'll see, it's not very complicated to make. However, it does take a little time. But it's a great activity đ
Ingredients

- 400 dandelion flowers
- 750g of jam sugar
- 1.5 liters of water
- 2 oranges
- 2 lemons
Preparation steps
Every good dandelion jam starts with a good harvest! I took advantage of a sunny day to grab a small bag and go picking dandelions from my garden.âïž

Ideally, pick them at noon or in the afternoon, before they close.
After picking all the dandelions, I placed them in a saucepan to wash them in water.

Next, it's time to separate the flowers from the green part. For jam, it's best to keep only the floral part. In fact, the green part can give your jam a more bitter taste, but it's a matter of choice and personal taste.



It's a rather long step, but it's quite satisfying!
I cut the oranges and lemons into pieces, keeping the peel on:



Next, place the flowers in a saucepan with 1.5 liters of water, the orange pieces, and the lemon pieces, and bring the mixture to a boil for about 1 hour.






At this stage, you have two options: either continue making your jelly immediately, or let the mixture macerate overnight.
I let it macerate overnight.
The next day, I took the mixture and filtered it with a clean cloth to collect the juice.





And it's with this juice that I'll make the jam.
I added the juice to a saucepan, then began heating it and slowly added the sugar, stirring all the while. I continued stirring for about 30 or 40 minutes until the juice was smooth.




After that, it was time to put the jam into jars. Using a ladle, I filled glass jars and closed them upside down.




I then let it cool and labeled them with the current date.
We can taste it in 24 to 48 hours.
Tasting

We enjoyed this jam on toast, but also on toast! It's quite good, a little sweet and tangy at the same time. đ
I hope this has inspired you to make your own dandelion jam, also known as cramaillotte, or dandelion honey.
Indeed, this jam has beneficial properties; it can soothe sore throats, for example. That's why it's often called dandelion honey đ
We'll mostly enjoy it in the morning on our toast or in cottage cheese for dessert!
See you soon,
Johanna

Hello les amis et les food lovers ! JâespĂšre que vous allez tous trĂšs bien đ
Saviez-vous quâil Ă©tait possible de faire plein de choses avec les pissenlits ? Il est possible de manger les feuilles en salade, mais aussi de manger la fleur dans une salade, ou bien de lâincorporer dans des gĂąteaux ou mĂȘme dâen faire de la confiture !
Dans mon jardin, jâai tout plein de pissenlits, câest jaune, câest joli. đž
Mais surtout, cela mâa rappelĂ© la fois oĂč, avec @genesisledger, on avait testĂ© de faire de la confiture de pissenlits ! On avait vraiment aimĂ© lâexpĂ©rience alors on a dĂ©cidĂ© de recommencer ! Et cette fois, je vais vous partager notre recette đ
Vous allez voir, ce nâest pas trĂšs compliquĂ© Ă rĂ©aliser. En revanche, cela prend un peu de temps. Mais câest une super activitĂ© đ
Les ingrédients

- 400 fleurs de pissenlits
- 750g de sucre pour confiture
- 1,5 Litre dâeau
- 2 oranges
- 2 citrons
Les étapes de préparation
Toute bonne confiture de pissenlits commence par une belle cueillette ! Jâai profitĂ© dâun jour oĂč le soleil Ă©tait au rendez-vous, pour prendre un petit sac et partir Ă la cueillette des pissenlits de mon jardin.âïž

LâidĂ©al est de les cueillir le midi ou dans lâaprĂšs-midi, avant quâils ne se referment.
AprĂšs avoir cueilli tous les pissenlits, je les ai placĂ©s dans une casserole pour les laver Ă lâeau.

Ensuite, il faut passer Ă la sĂ©paration des fleurs et de la partie verte. Pour la confiture, il est prĂ©fĂ©rable de garder uniquement la partie florale. En fait, la partie verte peut donner un goĂ»t plus amer Ă votre confiture, mais câest une question de choix et de goĂ»t personnel.



Câest une Ă©tape assez longue, mais câest plutĂŽt satisfaisant !
Jâai dĂ©coupĂ© les oranges et les citrons en morceaux en gardant la peau :



Il faut ensuite mettre les fleurs dans une casserole avec 1,5 litre dâeau, les morceaux dâorange et les morceaux de citron et porter le mĂ©lange Ă Ă©bullition pendant environ 1h.






à cette étape, vous avez deux choix possibles : soit vous continuez tout de suite votre gelée, soit vous laissez macérer le mélange pendant 1 nuit.
Pour ma part, jâai laissĂ© macĂ©rer pendant une nuit complĂšte.
Et le lendemain, jâai repris le mĂ©lange, et je lâai filtrĂ© avec un linge propre pour rĂ©cupĂ©rer le jus.





Et câest avec ce jus que je vais crĂ©er la confiture.
Jâai ajoutĂ© le jus dans une casserole, puis, jâai commencĂ© Ă le faire chauffer et jâai ajoutĂ© tout doucement le sucre, tout en remuant. Jâai continuĂ© de remuer pendant environ 30 ou 40 minutes jusquâĂ avoir un jus homogĂšne.




AprĂšs cela, câest le moment de mettre la confiture en pot. Avec une louche, jâai rempli des bocaux en verre et je les ai fermĂ©s en les mettant Ă lâenvers.




Jâai ensuite laissĂ© refroidir et jâai placĂ© des Ă©tiquettes avec la date du jour.
On pourra la goûter dans 24 à 48h.
La dégustation

On a dĂ©gustĂ© cette confiture sur des tartines de pain, mais Ă©galement sur des biscottes ! Câest plutĂŽt bon, un peu sucrĂ© et acidulĂ© Ă la fois. đ
JâespĂšre que cela vous a donnĂ© envie de faire votre propre gelĂ©e de pissenlits alias cramaillotte, alias miel de pissenlit.
En effet, cette gelĂ©e a de bonnes propriĂ©tĂ©s, elle peut apaiser les maux de gorge par exemple. Câest pour cela quâelle est souvent appelĂ©e miel de pissenlit đ
Nous allons surtout la déguster le matin sur nos biscottes ou bien dans du fromage blanc en dessert !
Ă bientĂŽt,
Johanna

Je n'ai encore jamais fait de confitures ni de gelées. A tester ! merci

What, dandelions as jam đČ, that's cool. I'm curious though if dandelions has flavors or a taste on it, or was it overpowered by the orange and lemon? Anyways, it looks really laborious but if the result is amazing, then its all worth it. Can I please have one jar of that đđ€€đ
