Crazy neighbor strikes again!

Only this time I brought my craziness to Middletown... yup grabbed up all the violets at Mom's, kinda weird but they did not dye the water as dark as the ones from my house. So far today I've made a batch of plain violet jelly... went fairly smoothly. I remembered how long it took to boil the water in the canner so this time after sterilizing the jars I left the burner on low and once the jelly boiled I cranked up the heat again and by the time I was ready to throw the full jars in I had a rolling boil going in the canner... also recycles the water. This actually is giving me enough time to do two batches. I'm not too happy with the heat in the kitchen... I'm slowly melting!
