Violets Violets Violets….

Pick a couple of handfuls of Violets, put them in a jar and cover with vinegar, leave in a cool dark place for about 4 days then strain off…you will be left with a beautiful violet vinegar.

To make a violet leaf oil, pick a large bowl of young Violet leaves.

Add 300 mls of warm oil, I used Sunflower oil as I don’t want it to solidify in the fridge…blitz in a blender, then strain through muslin.

There you have the perfect match for a Violet vinaigrette.
