Wild Violet Jelly

On Friday a friend posted a recipe for Wild Violet Jelly!
I decided to give it a try since we have wild violets EVERYWHERE!
Here is the link to the actual recipe we used.
Below is a 'pic-tory' [story in pictures] of my adventure in making wild violet jelly!

Hubby picking violets!






The water turns a beautiful blue color while they steep; I let mine steep overnight.


See the blue?



Then, when you add the lemon juice, the water turns purple!





Finished Product! It wasn't bad at all :) So we went back out last night and picked more ;)
