Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh violet flowers
  • 2 cups white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Go out in your yard and pick 1 cup fresh violet flowers, from un-sprayed areas.
  • Gently rinse violets if you feel it's necessarily.
  • I inspect my violets while I'm picking them.
  • Put violets in a clean glass jar.
  • Use a jar that is large enough to hold 3 cups of liquid.
  • Fill jar 1/2 full of violets.
  • Pour 2 cups white wine vinegar over violets.
  • Cap with a non-metallic lid.
  • *Vinegar will corrode metal.*
  • If you only have a metal cap, place a layer or two of plastic wrap between cap and vinegar.
  • Let this mixture sit for a week or two in a cool, dark place.
  • Strain the vinegar.
  • Store in a bottle with a cork cap in a cool, dark place for a year or longer.
