I’ve never made Rose Hip Jam, but I have made the jelly. One year I made the most luscious Rose Petal Liquor. I shared that sparingly because it took a LOT of rose petals to make it!

Dandelion Wine is the same thing. You need LOTS of blossoms, but the end result is so worth it. :)

I think I’ll start a ‘week’ where we discuss our homemade ‘adult beverages’ made from Nature. We should probably keep some of that in our Prepper Stash, don’t ya think? ;)

If you use regular bread yeast to make your wine with, it will also serve to cultivate that yeast, giving you an ongoing supply. That thick blonde sediment at the bottom of the carboy can be scraped up and mixed right into the dough.

The proportions take some trial-and-error, but it does make a decent loaf of bread.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it ;)
