bits & pieces

Yesterday my granddaughter collected a lot of violets and today we are ignoring snowflakes in the air — we made it into violet jelly.

Yes, it will be nice on a little thin bit of toast, but I am looking forward to a violet jelly cocktail!

I definitely could have sourced jars with non-clashing lids, but there you have it… I used this recipe.

Now I want to make dandelion jelly!
