Violet vinegar.

 

Steep a good handful of fresh violets in  400 mills of just simmered vinegar( white balsamic is great) in a mason jar. keep in a dark place for 3 days….strain off and decant into a bottle….great for vinaigrette, or a teaspoon for curing hiccups 

Nasturtium crust mini quiches…..

 

Line muffin tins with large nasturtium leaves, fill with olives,cooked pumpkin, bacon and eggs beaten with a bit of cream. Top with cheese and bake at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes or until set.

Delicious warm but probably just as good cold for a snack.

Breakfast Tea Tray....

 

I went to the Opp shop yesterday and found this lovely tray, it was so discoloured, but with a bit of silver polish it looks great...I feel like I’m on a posh railway journey every morning.

The greens are Borage leaves  from the garden, the toast is Olive sourdough with Avocado, Red Leicester cheese and Borage flowers.
