2. Quarter apples and remove any visible seeds. Add ro dandelions, add lemon juice and salt. Cover with water and boil for 10 minutes.
3. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes longer.
4. Remove flowers and press out liquid over the pan. I use a sieve and press gently with the back of a spoon to remove liquid.

6. Reduce for 1.5 hours on a low heat. Don't be tempted to turn up the heat to reduce cooking time as this will cause the syrup to burn. Remove from heat and pour into jam jar.
