- This video gives step by step instructions and tutorial of how to make lilac jelly, and lilac simple syrup. The lilac jelly is the first part of the video, and you'll find the information of lilac simple syrup during the last part.
This practice is good for any floral jelly, and any flower can be substituted!
Thanks for the video, btw it’s not roaring boil but rolling boil. Also you mentioned blueberries but I didn’t see you add blueberries. Thanks!
Yes you’re right rolling boil. Later in the video I ended up mentioning that I didn’t use blueberries after all, but it was a quick sentence 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing. I am disabled and haven't been able to do this for quite some time due to years of exhaustion. Today I am going to pluck the flowers, make the tea and then freeze it for when I feel up to making this. I am excited to make the syrup as well! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Wonderful! I’m so glad you are going to take the first steps. This is wonderful for that; can do in multiple steps. ❤️
Fascinating! I never knew you could do this with lilacs! Great video very informative. Thank you!
Yeah it’s amazing all the flowers you can make edible items with!
G'day guys.
I've heard of this, but never seen it done. Outstanding. 👍Really wish I could try some.
My favourite chicken is called Lilac. Not really useful info there, but I had to share. 🤣
Take care,
Daz.
hahahah, yep a chicken named lilac likely wouldnt quite make the same kind of jelly now would it. LOL. Love it! Thanks for the chuckle :)
Doing it with lilacs something new to me.
It has a unique flavour that’s for sure! I enjoy lilac syrup on pancakes or as a simple syrup for flavour for lemonade!!
That’s just amazing. I have never even thought of using lilacs for cooking. They have a beautiful smell and look. I can imagine they taste so light
It is a distinct aroma, isnt it, and the jelly and syrup taste JUST like the smell, i cant explain it; very floral. Its not for everyone (some members of our family LOVE it, and some not so much haha), but I think its a neat taste!
I love step by step videos. Very much appreciated, thank you!👍😊
Oh, you bet! My pleasure! I work well when I can have something laid out for me, and shown in real time also! Makes it so much easier!! Please let me know if you make this and how it turns out!
Thank you
Looks great!
Thanks Josh!!! I appreciate ya
that looks super good
Thank you! Let me know if you give it a whirl. It’s pretty much tastes exactly how lilacs smell 🥰
Sweet video thanks alot for the tutorial!! 🙏.
Thanks Tom!! Always happy to add yummy things to the pantry!
very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
You bet, thanks for watching! Happy Monday to you and Chacha! ❤️
I just loved your video thank you so much🥰🥰🥰
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Great video! I've heard that the lilac simple syrup is amazing on chocolate cake! I have yet to try it... hoping my lilac bush does well this year. I have a redbud in bloom, and I'm pondering making some redbud jelly...
Definitely let me know if you try lilac- yes!! You should totally do the redbud ! I will try the lilac syrup on chocolate cake!! Haven’t done that before!
Madam. Super. Very. Nice. Thanks
You’re most welcome! Thank you for watching!
I not much a canner...but will be doing a lot this year...was wondering what the head space would be when canning this on both....thanks again for sharing 👍
You want about an inch of headspace in your jars. ❤️
I just made violet simple syrup and all the tutorials said the syrup is good for like 6 months in the refrigerator, maybe the lilac will last longer than 2 weeks as well? Thanks for the tutorial, I may try jelly and water bath canning for the first time!
The lilac when canned should last quite a long time I would think. There was one jar I didn’t can because it wasn’t full, and I put it in the fridge but we used it up within a day or two! (Big family with pancakes 🥰). Please let me know how jelly making and canning goes for you if you do it- you should definitely try!!!!
would you have advice on how to convert a simple syrup into a jelly? we are harvesting fireweed with our school kids and want to make jelly. However, no stores have pectin in stock. Would we be able to convert a simple syrup into a jelly?
I’m afraid with fireweed and any floral jelly, you require pectin. You can definitely convert a simple syrup into a jelly if you reboil it with pectin at a later date. You can also dry or freeze the fireweed petals to make the jelly at a later date when pectin is in stock.
Another option is to make it with Apple which has natural pectin that may be enough to turn your simple fireweed syrup into an apple-fireweed jelly
How many packs of patin did you add
All ingredients and amounts are outlined in the video ☺️
Just a little tip..if you take a about 1/4c of sugar from your sugar amount an mix with your pectin it will dissolve in a flash❤
Oh, wonderful! I will try that! 💜
Can I freeze the petals until I can make the jelly
No, unfortunately the petals don’t keep well at all. You can keep the tea (boiled down petals) for a couple days in the fridge though!
@@BrambleHillHomestead OK thank you
Did you decide to not use the blueberries for color? or did I miss that???
Haha at the end I did mention that I decided not to. I decided not to because I liked the color well enough, it was brightening up with the lemon juice. Now that they’re in jars I maybe wish I would have, but no matter. They’re still delicious ❤️
@@BrambleHillHomestead how did I not catch that ... I watched it all the way through... I must have been distracted ...im sorry
@@countrymamamusings7701 nothing at all to be sorry about!!! There’s a lot of info in all of our videos, a person can’t catch it all! ☺️❤️
17:11 nice recipe, looks really good. Thumbs up from a fellow creator 😅
Thank you for checking us out !!
I didn't see the use of the blueberries for the color
Yeah midway through the video I changed my mind cuz the color was looking so nice. It was just a quick comment so perhaps you missed it. Sorry about that.
I couldn't get through this. Too much of what you are going to do. It's a video. You don't have to explain what you are going to do. Explain what you are doing while you are doing it. Godspeed.
Thank you
