Violet Pickles




Too edible to mow, I picked a bowlful of these wild violets growing in the Butterfly Meadow, and made pickled violets, a thing I made up. If violets are good in salads, and so is vinegar, little vinegary violets should be no problem.

I used a recipe for pickled onions and added some other yard herbs, including some volunteer spring onions I found. In some batches I used white vinegar and in some I used apple cider.
