For candied violets, it&#39;s important to have a firm petal so they retain their natural shape.La Tea Dahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03138624485398178242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-29191571577600732372010-07-22T01:39:12.414-07:002010-07-22T01:39:12.414-07:00can u save the violets to make candied violets?Faridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04870614490553075155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-8755125516330814912008-07-04T00:05:00.000-07:002008-07-04T00:05:00.000-07:00I hate to think of the back ache you may have had by the end of that picking.<BR/>I have some purple violets in my lawn and should pick them and do the egg white/castor sugar preserving trick....maybe I need to look it up before I do.<BR/>They are so beautiful but picking a bunch is tiring. Your woods sound wonderful. We had 13 acres of Australian Bush when I was a child and the orchids that I could pick there were so beautiful. Wish I had pressed and kept more of them.0zjanehttp://five-minutes-of-fame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-29642783956336861682008-07-02T19:35:00.000-07:002008-07-02T19:35:00.000-07:00I had no idea that yellow violets even existed...oh my!

I am not expert and love to hear how others turned out. I am glad boiling did not destroy the violet flavor. Does the lemon fight the violet flavor ????
