I wrote about my experience for this week's Spencer Magnet article, which you can read here:
I found the recipe that I used in the comments on a gardeners' forum post (search for Cathy). I enjoyed collecting various sources while looking for recipes. These are a few that helped me:
- Violet Jam @ Soulemama - I liked the sound of her recipe, but I didn't have enough local honey. Maybe next time.
- Urban Forager/Sweet Violets @The New York Times - This isn't about jam, but I did find it interesting that someone in NYC was writing about eating "weeds."
- Violet Jam @ Gifts From Your Kitchen - This recipe is similar to the one I used.
- Violet Jam @Food.com - This recipe uses a lime instead of a lemon. I think it would be interesting to see how the flavor is different from mine.
PS. I mention this in the article, but just in case you don't see that: African violets are NOT true violets and and NOT edible. Please don't use them as an alternative.
