    For Bay Dandelion Queen

    @baymule If I'm making it for gifts, I take each petal off. If I'm making it for home/family use, I just take the whole flower (off stem) and leave the green base in. It doesn't effect the quality but does look a tinged with green and then you cannot tell easily if it molds. It lasts very long...

    Sure... I use my own recipe... I gather as many dandelion heads as I can (flowers). I try to get at least 2 mason jars full. (yes, I ask all the neighbors for theirs too ). Then I spread them between 2 screens to dry (they have a high moisture content) I let them dry 2-3 days. (I don't want...

    Your skin absorbs vitamin C?

    Oh and I forgot to comment about your title... As far as I know, our skin (the biggest organ we have) is porous so it absorbs very well.

    Your skin absorbs vitamin C?

    Violets are a great source of Vitamin C. You could eat them raw, make a tea, or even a poultice. Have you tried an elimination diet to see what you may be eating that is causing the reaction?

    How Would You Freeze Soup?

    Congrats on the soup! It's such a great feeling to make something tasty and wholesome and then to have it waiting in the freezer for a hurried day! Looks like you have great answers for saving. I wanted to add that besides the batch, what I like to do is save some in an ice cube tray (then set...
