I dehydrated some cranberries I had in the freezer. This is before they went into the dehydrator. They are realllly realllly good on yogurt :)
And these are the wild violets I gathered from my front lawn for some violet jelly. I would have shown you what the jelly looked like but it did not turn a pretty color. I think I had too much lemon and not enough flowers. It was kind of a honey color, not ugly just not a pretty purply-pink color. It does however taste great. Hubby loved it. Now I need to hide it from him cause we have to use up the old stuff before we use this and I want to give some away for gifts too. I'll have to try it again some time. If you want to try it next year, just Google violet jelly. There are a lot of recipes out there on the web.
