They anxiously await for the day that the flowers are ready to pick to start making the jelly. The dandelion tastes, (as one person replied) tastes like mild honey. The violet jelly is mildly sweet and floral. If anyone needs the recipes I'll gladly pass them on, so next spring you'll be ready to pick.

It would have to be better than the store-bought kryptonite version. There’s the classic mint jelly, always served with lamb when I was a kid.

Ever since I read omnivores dilemna, I have been fascinated with the idea that fruit hanging over a public space (a tree growing over a fence above a sidewalk for instance) is public domain. Fallenfruit.org is exploring this. I have not been brave enough to harvest anything myself, but I know where a lemon tree is growing by a bike path and I have a three tree olive grove staked out. I also know where california wild black walnuts are growing. Oregon is full of wild growing blackberries. You could get some free blackberry jam! ...as long as you find a clean source (not by a road, etc). 2. People who grow fruit trees in their yards often have too much fruit to consume. If you know someone who doesn't can their own fruit, you may be able to score some free fruit that way. 3. My friend who lives near you just went blueberry picking on sauvies island for $1.50 a pound. She is looking for u pick peaches for just as el cheapo. You may want to check sauvies island or the willamette valley for bargains. Good luck! Homemade food is so good for you. Let us know how it works out!! <blockquote>Hi Mimi, We lucky Portlanders have some open source fruit options here: + <a href="http://portlandfruit.org/" rel="nofollow">the Portland Tree Project</a> + and <a href="http://www.urbanedibles.org/" rel="nofollow">Urban Edibles</a> thanks for reminding me about these! --McAuliflower </blockquote> I know I’m not directly answering your question but I’m not sure how to directly answer it since you live in Portland and I live in California and the wild food is so different but I have a couple of suggestions:

It tastes like a cross between honey and sunshine! I have been wondering about daylily jelly and nasturtium jelly. the nasturtiums would be hot and spice, like black pepper. It would be great on lamb, or duck. Any meat probably. I think chickory flower jelly would be nice, and hopefully stay blue!! We had so many plums and cherries this year. We gave them away by the grocery sack full!! and still had way too many!! I love dandelion jelly. It tastes like a cross between honey and sunshine!

Sadly I never tasted it because it sounded too strange to me at that time. Now I wonder what it tasted like too. I have found several recipes but, so far, I have never tried making it myself.
