Dried lavender is easy to find in the spice section of the supermarket. If you prefer, you can substitute 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves for the lavender. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar |
3/4 teaspoon dried lavender |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
pinch salt |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 peach, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
1 nectarine, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
1 large plum, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
1 cup raspberries |
1 cup blackberries |
3/4 cup blueberries |
1 tablespoon small whole mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Combine honey, 1/3 cup water, lavender, pepper, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until honey has dissolved. Remove from heat, and cover; let steep 10–15 minutes or until room temperature. Strain into a serving bowl; discard lavender and stir in lime juice.
2. Add peach, nectarine, and plum slices to honey mixture, and toss well. Add berries and mint, and toss gently to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled. Serve.
