Author Lynn / Turnips 2 Tangerines
- 1 cup fresh violet flowers
- 2 cups white wine vinegar
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.
