Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c fresh violets
2 c boiling water
1 lemon (juice from) 4 tablespoons
1 pack powdered pectin
4 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Make an infusion with violets and water by placing your blossoms in a glass jar and covering them with boiling water. Put a lid on the jar, and set aside for 24 hours. The infusion will turn a murky bluish green. Strain and discard the violets. Add the lemon juice to the violet infusion, and it transforms to a clear lavender pink. Stir in powdered pectin, and bring to a boil. Add 4 cups sugar, bring to a boil again, and boil vigorously for one minute. Skim if necessary. Pour into sterile jars and seal. Makes approximately 2½ cups jelly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the jelly didn't set properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This jelly is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

This jelly is a great way to use up extra violets. I have a violet plant in my garden and I'm always looking for new ways to use the flowers.

I'm not a big fan of floral flavors, but this jelly is surprisingly delicious. The violet flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
