Күн бұрын

Today we're going to do something unique and harvest some Daylilies from around the property. We're going to learn more about them, and how the entire plant is edible to humans. The flowers taste amazing, like you're eating a handful of fresh lettuce. Our ultimate goal today though, it to make some Daylily Syrup. You can make floral syrups like this with all kind of flowers - it's really quite simple. And once we're done, we'll water bath can the jars up for long to shelf stable use. Here's a quick guide on how much sugar to add, to get the type you're after:
Very Syrup: 1 cup sugar to 1 quart liquid
Light Syrup: 2 cup sugar to 1 quart liquid
Medium Syrup: 3 cup sugar to 1 quart liquid
Heavy Syrup: 4-3/4 cup sugar to 1 quart liquid

As always, you are responsible for your own intelligence. Tiger Lilies are 𝗻𝗼𝘁 the same as Day Lilies. Here's some more good info if you want to educate yourself further: gardenandhappy.com/9-huge-differences-between-poisonous-tiger-lilies-and-day-lilies

Rachel, I've learned so much from you on this channel! Thank you for this wonderful, informational video. I had no idea that this could be done with day lilies. My grandmother literally had a field full. I wonder if she knew of their use way, way back then? 🤔

I have to try this. -- Funny story about these flowers, They are my husband and mine flower. That came about when we were dating back in late 70's we always passed them on the road side and I stated how I love them. One date night he came to pick me up, he handed me a bouquet of these. When I went to take them I notice a stream of blood running down his arm. He had sliced his hand, He stated his jackknife was dull. After several bandaid we went on our way out to eat. Since then It became our flower.

Oh dear lady, this looks so wonderful and tomorrow I will head out to my enormous patch of daylilies to make some of this syrup. Daily I use two of daylily flowers like a tortilla. I stuffed them with chickweed, elder flowers, purple clover flowers, crushed lentils, fermented hot sauce and dandelion greens. and flowers. Delicious!

Rachel I haven’t heard that you can make syrup from day Lilly’s before. I usually make jelly from red bud flowers and dandelion flowers. And last year I made corn cob syrup after watching you make it. I watched Stacy from Off grid with Doug and Stacy. Make a Frittata from Rose of Sharon flowers and leaves. That is 2 more ways to be self sufficient from things you can harvest from your land, love it!!!

My grandmother called him ditch Lilly is also. My son‘s favorite flower I love them too. When we first moved into our home almost 38 years ago my daughter went around and collected daylilies, Queen Anne’s lace and native black eyed Susans. Still my favorite combination of wildflowers.

I went driving along the road side yesterday hunting for daylilys. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get that many, but I found enough to make three jars worth today. They turned out so delicious! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe with all of us. I've really gotten into this year making jellies from edible flowers, and I love adding this syrup to that recipe collection! It will be definetly one I'll be doing every year from now on. I also made red clover jelly which is sooooo good too. Since we have so much clover all around us, I plan on teaching our grandkids that will be visiting next week how to pick and make white clover jelly too. Keep these unique recipes coming! :)

You just saved my day lilies from being ripped out of my backyard. I've always thought that they were toxic and since I'm not the biggest fan of how they look, I was going to rip them out to make some space in my tiny garden. Since they are edible and tasty, they are here to stay now!

@julie-annepineau4022 2 жыл бұрын

just make sure they are day lilies not asiatic lilies. Those ones are toxic. If the leaves grow from the ground safe, if they grow from the stem toxic

Who knew? As a child, my dad always called them weeds and ultimately destroyed the patch around our large roadside tree. If my mom had known this, I’ll bet the day lilies would have been preserved. Thanks for a great video, Rachel.
