Last year our 13 year old granddaughter wanted to make Peony jelly😊 My peonies were in full bloom. She found a recipe and made a beautiful jelly. She waterbathed canned for the first time and is hooked😂🤣😂 It was a great teaching time for the proper method to waterbath canning. This "Gramz" was blessed by her enthusiasm 💖💕

Oh, I saw this a week too late! I have a 60+ year old row of 26 Peony bushes. Thanks for the idea, Next year!

Never heard of honey suckle simple syrup. Your right when you reach a certain age you most likely have everything you need. I know I don’t need anything. I’m 59 and don’t want stuff any more. Food gifts are the best.

Honeysuckle is the scent of my childhood. There was honeysuckle growing all over our property and we would sit for hours as children and suck on the stems. I can't wait for us to move so I can plant honeysuckle. Thank you for a great idea to use it.

One of our best purchases ever was a Soda Stream. I can our own lemonade concentrate. When we reconstitute it, we dilute it with two thirds water. To serve, we mix one half to 3/4 sparkling water to lemonade. It's so refreshing and relatively low in sugar. I've started making my own simple syrups to use in the same way. It's also great with unsweet iced tea and flavorings for kombucha second ferment.

This looks fun; I will try it! For the love of God, though, people; DO NOT plant japanese honeysuckle where it isn't native! It is a horribly noxious weed that is an absolute scourge and near impossible to get rid of. Either use native varieties or keep your japanese honeysuckle in containers where the roots can't escape.

I was looking around for a recipe to make a flavored simple syrup and I’m now doing this exact process with lavender. I did find that I had to use a little more water than the amount I had in lavender. But I also was a stronger flavor. If it turns out well I plan to do this with mint, lemon, and blueberries.

It never dawned on me to can simple syrup. I had been freezing it. I gather that you can add different flavors like you suggested or leave it just plain and water-bath can it. My question is can you reduce the sugar say to 2/3 c per cup of water and still have it be safe to can? I find the 1:1 is a bit too sweet for my liking.

We used to do that with honeysuckle from the hedge across the street when I was six, before before we moved to Canada. I don’t it think it grows in our zone. I’m not sure if I would pick from city parks, I know they spray for mosquitoes so I would have to do some research.
