Dandelions Just Dandy

My granny often mentioned to me how fond she’d been of the dandelion wine she made every summer on the farm. Today I happened to stumble upon a site that suggests another way to use these common plants. If there is an abundance of dandelions in your yard, perhaps you can dig them out and try this recipe. If you do, please let us know if you enjoyed the result!
