I made your jelly today; it tastes great and I was pleased with the quantity too. Your instructions are really clear - thank you.<br /><br />If you don't mind a longer post, let me tell you how I found out about the edible peony... Here in Canada, there is an option to privately sponsor refugees that have been pre-screened by the government. Our church recently sponsored a young family from Syria who have now been here a few months, and we have found some incredibly helpful volunteer interpreters in our community who speak their language. We honoured all of them after our church service on Sunday and I gave a bouquet of peonies to each family as they left. One of the women took me aside and excitedly showed me photos on her phone of relatives making peony jam back home. I could hardly wait to investigate that and especially look forward to a hit of late spring during the winter months!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04776647020730129352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-71265561185525112922015-03-11T22:35:51.456-04:002015-03-11T22:35:51.456-04:00I love peonies but never knew they could be eaten....I love peonies but never knew they could be eaten.

I don't think anyone would enjoy it if it did! Yeah, rain can ruin a good peony bloom, can't it?<br /><br /><b>Vicki ~ </b>I feel bad that you can't grow peonies down there. Bad, until I consider all the things you can grow year round that I can't! LOL. This might make you feel better about the peony jelly though. I'm thinking it probably tastes similar to what (from memory) rose jelly does. I would certainly put it in that category. I can bring some to the Fling for you if you'd like! And that friendship thing? We'll always be friends. :-)Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-6684739366881975322014-06-11T00:23:24.338-04:002014-06-11T00:23:24.338-04:00Kylee - you know I love you but I'm so jealous...Kylee - you know I love you but I'm so jealous of anyone who can grow peonies, I could just spit! They're my favorite flowers and they hate our Texas heat. This recipe is almost identical to one I make from organic rose petals, though. Maybe we'll have to swap jams and jellies to save our friendship.Vicki @ Playin' Outsidehttp://playinoutside.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-43074311016787419442014-06-10T11:39:14.168-04:002014-06-10T11:39:14.168-04:00Your peony jelly looks totally gorgeous, but I mus...Your peony jelly looks totally gorgeous, but I must confess that I can't imagine how it would smell or taste !

I thought that eating peony jelly might taste like eating perfume and ewwww, that wouldn't be good at all, but it wasn't like that. I wonder if different varieties of peonies would alter the taste of the jelly much.<br /><br /><b>Susanne ~ </b>It was easy enough to make, and I'm always up for new experiences. I'm glad I made it and it's something that I might do again another year. It's not as good as the maple syrup, but that would be a hard one to beat. ;-)Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-66395772814006327282014-06-06T19:43:27.880-04:002014-06-06T19:43:27.880-04:00Hi, Kylee.
