I have wild violets on our property, and they only bloom for a short time. One area is around my clothesline, so I have to keep on top of it, before someone mows it down.
In the past I have made wild violet jelly for gifting and enjoying ourselves. I just don't have the time to can anything right now, so I decided to make a medicinal tincture this spring.
Here is how I canned the jelly: Wild Violet Jelly
It's perfect for gift giving because it is a beautiful color, and it tastes delicious. I can it in 4 oz. jars, to make the recipe more shareable. I typically only get enough blossoms for one batch when I do can jelly. I first made the jelly back in 2018. I got the recipe from another blogger (go to my link and it will then have a link for her blogpost).
(I picked these, and made this Sunday, before the frost)
The tincture is new to us. I am doing research on uses, but so far cough, throat issues are two. Have you made this tincture? I would love to know what other benefits is contains, or illnesses it can be used for.
