<snip>Violet flowers are starting to appear.  Those that bloom first are
always larger and nicer than those that come after so pick and candy them as
they become available.

violet syrup (I can't find my recipe off the bat, basically sugar, water,
flowers boiled down and strained) is also a yummy lite addition to plain
buttered crepes- beautiful lavendar if most of your violets are white or
purple- the yellow ones make an odd color.  And if you make the syrup extra
strong and put it away for the fall it is a great soother of sore throat and
cough.  Remember to shake/rinse the ants etc off the flowers- they *are*
hiding in there, as violets are sweet- can't hurt anything after they've been
boiled, but it can be a bit disturbing! ;)
