Ashley and Karissa met as bakers at Beans n Cream Bake-house in Sun Prairie, connecting over traditional baking and unique flavor combinations. It was this passion that led them to start up Blue Violet Jams and Jellies, creating small batch spreads with a botanical twist.

1 cup water

1 cup lemon juice

1 cup fresh mint

.8 ounces fruit pectin

Strain mint out of liquid and add liquid back to the pan. Stir in pectin and bring to a roiling boil over medium high heat. Stir in sugar and honey, and boil for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
