INGREDIENTS

4	c	Wild purple violets
4	c	Rice vinegar
		1991 ADAMS, Marcia
		Heartland
		Clarkson Potter/
		Publisher. New York.

INSTRUCTIONS

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.
