Steep ½ cup of clean dandelion flowers with ¼ cup sugar, a strip of lemon zest and 1 ½ cups boiling water.
Strain the mixture, getting out as much of the flavorful liquid as possible.
Combine ¼ cup more sugar and 5 teaspoons no sugar pectin in a bowl.
Boil the dandelion water, whisk in the pectin mixture, ½ cup sugar and just a little lemon juice.
Boil the mixture for a minute then transfer to clean jars.
Let the mixture cool for an hour then refrigerate until set.
