Ashlyn and I spent about an hour the other day picking wild violets around our yard. I had a plan with these purple beauties. My plan? Violet Simple Syrup!
Wild Violet Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water
3 cups violet heads/petals
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4-1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
1. Place your violet petals into a pint or quart mason jar. Carefully pour the boiling water over the petals, seal, and allow to steep for 24 hours.
2. After 24 hours, strain your violet water into a small saucepan gently pressing on the petals to extract all of the water. Add the sugar and heat just until the sugar is melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. If desired, add the lemon juice - a small bit at a time - in order to brighten up the color. Once desired color is reached, transfer to a bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator. Add to anything you'd like to give a purple sweetness to!
Cheers!
