Never ever put red food dye in this recipe. It is harmful to the birds and can cause the syrup to spoil quicker. Use 1 part sugar with 4 parts water and bring to a boil to kill any bacteria or mold present. -
Easy and the hummingbirds don't know the difference! Thank you! Made for New Kids on the Block game. -
This really works and is 100 times cheaper than store-bought which is the same thing -
This is a great recipe for the hummingbird feeders.I've using this for about 20 years, the hummingbirds love it.

Hi, I'm Jessica Kurzyniec, and I am 21 years old. I married a wonderful man in September of 2008. We are buying a house this year which has an amazing kitchen I plan to use often. The down side cooking is challenge for me, my husband won't eat veggies at all, orange this freak him out, and I would be a eat veggies and fruit 24 7 if poosible.(see told ya it was a challenge). The one thing we agree on is mexican and ice cream : ). Saturday nights from april to october are consumed by racing at flat rock speedway and I love it.
