Juice of one large lemon
2 ½ cups boiling water
1 package of Sure-Jell pectin
3 ½ cups sugar

Directions:
Gather two to three cups of violet blossoms and pour 2 1/2 cups of boiling water over them. The mixture will begin to turn aqua then eventually a deep blue or purple depending upon the shades of violets used. After the violets have infused for a sufficient amount of time, strain and add the juice of one lemon. The blue will quickly turn a bright pinkish violet.

Make the jelly just as the Sure-Jell pack instructs. Mix the pectin with the flower/lemon mixture, stir over high heat until it reaches a heavy boil. Boil for one minute then add the sugar all at once. Keep stirring, return to a boil for one minute. Remove from heat and quickly ladle into prepared jars. Process in a water bath for five minutes. Remove from water and let sit for 24 hours.

Makes 40 ounces.
