Missouri redbud trees after the rain this evening. The blossoms can be used to make a mild flavored jelly.

Beautiful.

Would you mind sharing how to make this jelly? We have a lot of redbud trees here in Oklahoma. It sounds like a fun project.

A friend of mine made it. You strip the blossoms off and I don't know the rest. I assume you steep them, boil off some water and add sugar and pectin, but IDK. I think there are recipes for mead and vinegar out there too.

I’d be interested as well.
