Germans from Russia - Dandelion Wine
We went out to the mountains today to do some fishing and looking around. It was cloudy and windy, but otherwise it was a good day, and we caught quite a few trout of the smoker.
At one place we stopped, we saw a lot of dandelions in full bloom:
This site reminded me of a Germans from Russia recipe for dandelion wine that I had seen:
I don't know if my grandfather ever made this wine; I don't remember ever seeing it, and I certainly don't remember drinking it. Having said that, it is a favourite of the local Hutterite colonies in this area, so I decided to give it a try and got to picking:
This will be my first wine project with the wine kit that The Beautiful Mrs. Tas got for me for my birthday:

We'll see how it goes; I'm expecting it to be good.
