Directions
Pack 2 pint jars tightly with the violets. Pour the vinegar (unheated) 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 marvelous pale lavender. Strain and keep refrigerated.
NOTE: The original recipe called for cider vinegar, but to capture the delicate color and flavor of the violets, I use Japanese rice vinegar, which is not as strong or as dark as cider vinegar.
