Hey mitch, the saoking reduces the bitterness. The book I read said use either salt or water, so of course I used both... but it does work.

Dino, I just pickle the flower buds, not the stalks. And the smaller they are, the nicer they taste. The first lot were so small they hadn't even developed stalks yet, some of the later ones were just about to open. Here's the thread - its really easy, two or three minutes on the boil are quite enough.

Here are some of the Dandelions I picked this weekend. They were very tasty. Everything grows so fast this time of year. Hard to keep up.
