Dandelion Wine Recipe

I very much enjoy reading “Luc’s Wjnlog.” Luc provides some really interesting information and I enjoy some of his experiments, tests and ideas for winemaking tools and accessories. If you don’t read Luc, you should. Visitors to his site the first time might not realize at first that although his posts appear to be in Dutch (I think that is the language but I’m not sure. Maybe it’s Fresian. Or German.), he always posts an English translation below.

The other day, he posted some information about making a Dandelion and Strawberry Wine. For strawberries, he has chosen strawberry jam which is an interesting idea. Jam is already loaded with lots of sugar, and he provides his calculations for any additional sugar required to make the wine based on the amount of sugar in the jam.

In my part of the world, it will be another month before the dandelions come out and one has to be careful about picking them. Have they been sprayed with weed killer?

If I can find a field filled with dandelions that I can be assured have had no poison sprayed on them, I might give Luc’s wine a try. It sounds very good!
