Step-by-step
- Put the raspberries into a preserving pan with the sugar and lemon juice. Gently heat, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Once it has dissolved, whack the heat up and bring to a boil. Boil steadily until the setting point is reached, skimming off any scum.
- Stir in the violet syrup. Cool for 12 minutes so the seeds distribute evenly. Pot in warm, dry sterilized jars, cover with waxed paper discs and seal. This keeps for a year; refrigerate once opened.
