Steps:
- If canning, prepare a water bath canner before beginning. Skip this step for a refrigerator or freezer jelly.
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and pour it over 2 cups of loosely packed violet flowers. Allow the mixture to steep for 15 to 20 minutes to make a violet tea.
- Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and strain the flowers from the tea. You should have roughly 4 cups of pink liquid at this point (as the flowers will be slightly wet and keep some of the liquid, even if squeezed out).
- Pour the violet tea and lemon mixture into a saucepan and stir in the powdered pectin. Bring this mixture to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
- Add the sugar (don't add it before this point or the jelly won't gel). Stir to fully incorporate and bring the mixture back to a hard boil for 1 minute.
- Ladle into prepared jelly jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, and seal with 2 part lids.
- If canning, process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
