Roasted Peaches with Lavender
Lavender pairs nicely with less acidic and more sugary fruits like melons and apricots.Despite its inviting perfume, it’s important to use lavender in moderation, due to its persistent bitter taste. The combination of lavender and summer fruit works in all sorts of desserts: sorbets, coulis, poached fruits and even macerated in fruit salads.
