Making Violet Honey

Picking violets is one of my most favorite springtime activities.  There's something so joyful about sitting down in the yard with a basket and my kids and picking and picking those little flowers.  


Making violet honey is quite simple! First, recruit some children to go out and pick violets with you. Stuff them into a jar, and cover slowly with honey. You may need to add more honey and stir a little to get all of the flowers covered. 


Enjoy as a treat whenever you like!  Violet honey is especially soothing to throats sore from over use, and is high in vitamin C.
