1. Fill glass jars (any size) with freshly harvested violet blossoms.
Cover the violet with boiling water, cover the jars and allow them to
infuse for 24 hours. 2. Drain the violets and measure the infusion
liquid. To each cup of liquid, add the juice of half a lemon and two
cups of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, pour into sterlized jars
or bottles and seal.
