  • 1/4 Cup lemon juice
  • 4 Cups sugar

  1. Prepare the flowers by removing the small green part on the end of the bloom without removing the stamen, or else the nectar will me lost.
  2. Once the flowers are prepared, boil 4 cups water and pour it over the flowers. Be sure to use a heat safe bowl or jar for this.
  3. Let the flowers steep for at least two hours to make the infusion.
  4. While the flowers are steeping prepare the canning jars and lids by washing them in hot soapy water. Keep the jars hot until you fill them.

  6. After the flowers have steeped for at least two hours, strain them through a mesh strainer or cheese cloth.

  8. Bring to a boil.
  9. Add 4 cups sugar and return to a rolling boil.
  10. Boil for one minute.
  11. Remove from heat.
  12. Fill hot jars with honeysuckle jelly leaving 1/4" headspace.
  13. Wipe rims with a clean cloth. Put the lids and bands on the jars.
  14. Put the jars in the water bath canner making sure that the water covers the jar tops by at least 1".
  15. Bring water to a boil and process for 10 minutes.
  16. Remove the jars from the canner and set on a towel on the counter to cool.
  17. The next day, check the seals and wipe the jars before storing.

I like jams a lot.
I don't have the flower.
I think it's a very different flavor.
