Wild Violets

 




Although 18°F early morning, and only in the 50's, the wild violets are making an appearance after a very long winter. 

We love homemade wild violet jelly, but I have other possibilities this Spring.

The violets are so pretty. Waiting to hear what you might do with them this year.

Debby/My Shasta Home, the jelly is smells amazing when it's being made and tastes wonderful. It is very pretty, so it also makes a wonderful gift to give.

Anne in the kitchen, I'm hoping to make a few new items, but I'm also battling getting time to get them picked before my husband mows them down, ha ha!
