Violet Vinegar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups wild purple violets (flowers)
4 cups rice wine vinegar

Preparation

Pack 2 pint jars tightly with the violets. Pour the vinegar straight from the jar over the violets.
Cover tightly and allow to stand in a
sunny window for 4 or 5 days; the violets will bleach out and the vinegar become a beautiful pale lavender.
Strain and keep refrigerated.
