Oh, it's jelly (or syrup, if you don't have pectin on hand) made from violet blossoms. It's absolutely GORGEOUSLY rich in color....


VIOLET FLOWER JELLY

2 cups violet blossoms, loosely packed
2 cups boiling water

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 pkg. powdered pectin
4 cups sugar

For the violet infusion : Pour boiling water on blossoms and cover
12-24 hours (If you can't get to the cooking within 24 hours, store
in the refrigerator).

For the Jelly : Bring 2 cups of the infusion with lemon juice and
pectin to a rolling boil (one you can't stir down). Add sugar all
at once and bring back to rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove
from heat and let boiling die down. Skim off foam with large spoon.
Pour immediately into hot sterilized jars and seal.

Makes 4-5 cups of jelly.
