Step-by-step

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
