Calories: 3kcal
Ingredients
- pint wild violet blossoms (enough to fill a jar loosely packed)
- 1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar (or white, champagne, rice)
Instructions
- Rinse the violets in cool water and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel to dry.
- Loosely pack the violets into a clean glass pint jar. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, warm vinegar over medium-low heat to a simmer (not boiling). Turn off heat.
- Carefully pour warm vinegar over the violets leaving about a 1-inch space at the top of the jar. Cover the jar and store in a dark, cool location for at least 2 days or up to a week. You should see some color right away, but the longer you infuse the vinegar, the darker the color.
- Once the vinegar has turned a lovely shade of violet, strain out the blossoms and store the violet blossom vinegar in a clean glass jar or bottle. Compost the spent blossoms.
