  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Few grains salt
  • ⅓ cup Yvette Cordial
  • 1 small bunch violets
  • Violet coloring

Directions

1

Mix first four ingredients. Remove stems from violets, and pound violets in a mortar until well macerated, then strain through cheese-cloth. Add extract to first mixture; color, freeze, and mould. Serve garnished with fresh or candied violets; the light purple cultivated violets should be used and the result will be most gratifying.
