For me, the jam changes from a grey-ish purple to a fuchsia/pinkish purple color (excuse the absurd color names). I am not sure why they would turn out clear for you? One thing you could try in the future would be to use more violets and use them fresh. I have made it in the past where I have doubled the violets, added a splash more water and kept the other ingredients the same, and it just boosts the flavor you get from the flowers! <br /><br />Also, note that with this jam you should always keep it in the fridge, even if the canning jar seals. It is a refrigerator/freezer jam and may not store well on the shelf. <br /><br />Hope the is helps and happy canning! <br />Ali <br />Forager from Omahabig muddy urban farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805411759333744951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7138690846434590563.post-8016574958037252752012-04-17T21:44:33.287-07:002012-04-17T21:44:33.287-07:00My violet jam turned out pink when I canned it and...My violet jam turned out pink when I canned it and almost clear without canning. I used the purple violets only, but did keep them in the fridge a couple days before getting around to making the jam. Would that have affected the color? <br /><br />Thanks!<br />Forager from Grand IslandTristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389831761724109615noreply@blogger.com
