Kudzu Jelly Recipe
4 cups kudzu blossoms
4 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 package pectin
5 cups sugar
4-6 half-pint jars & lids, sterilized and kept hot
Gather the purple blossoms off the kudzu stem until you have 4 cups. Wash blossoms thoroughly to
remove bugs or stems. Place blossoms in large bowl and pour boiling water over them. Stir
and set in refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Liquid will be a gray color.
Strain liquid and discard blossoms in your compost pile. Pour liquid in a medium pot. Add lemon juice,
pectin, and sugar. The lemon juice will magically turn the gray liquid into a bright purple. Bring
jelly to a
full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and skim off foam. Pour jelly into hot sterilized jars and seal. Process jelly
in boiling water bath for 7 minutes. Store in a cool, dark place.
Enjoy this "grapish" flavored jelly on toast, muffins and bisquits!

Seeds and More Seeds...What Your Garden Needs
Seeds are the most important ingredient in all gardening. Without quality seeds it would be impossible to have a beautiful garden. True seeds vary in size from the dust-like seeds of some orchids to the large seed contained in the coconut. The period of dormancy undergone by many seeds before germination also varies. The seeds may lie dormant for a short period of time before you see growth sprouting above the soil, or they may be dormant for a long time. For some seeds a long dormancy is a result of the extremely hard outer coating of the seeds. Flower seeds, vegetable seeds and garden seeds all germinate very quickly and are therefore perfect for home use.
