Dandelion Wine Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Dandelion Wine Recipe). This very old recipe utilizes the bane of homeowners: the dandelion! I found this in 1993 when a flood left our front yard full of beautiful, very large dandelions. The blossoms CANNOT have been sprayed with any pesticides, and should be thoroughly rinsed.
