Wild Violet Jelly ~ A Spring Time Treat

 Normally, wild violets would be up by the beginning of April.  The cold weather delayed them this year.  I spent an afternoon, on a sunny warm day picking wild violets.  I didn't get to do this in April of 2024 (broke my foot).




Wild Violet Jelly in the making!

You can see the process on a post here:  Wild Violet Jelly

Does it taste like flowers?

We don’t have wild violets around here but I know it would make a beautiful jelly. Pics of the finished product?

Sandi, it's not so much a floral taste like Queen Anne's Lace does, but it is very good. Hard to explain. I pack the flowers in the 2 cups, and get a more vibrant color and better flavor.

Anne in the kitchen, I have linked my post with pictures of the process from the infused violet water to finished jelly on the post.
