Why this pairing works
Peach honey brings a soft fruit flavor, and a light steep of lavender adds a floral note that suits warm fall spices without taking over.
Makes about 1/2 cup (serves 6) Prep 5 min Cook 0 min
Ingredients
- 8 Peach Honey Sticks (about 2 Tbsp honey)
- 1/4 cup Lavender Wildflower Honey
- 1 Tbsp very hot water
- 1/8 tsp Culinary Lavender Buds
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch flaky salt, optional
Directions
- Steep the lavender buds in the hot water for 5 minutes, then strain out the buds.
- Snip the honey sticks and squeeze the honey into a small bowl. Add the wildflower honey.
- Stir in the lavender water and lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
- Spoon it over pumpkin pie, warm scones, ice cream or roasted pears and peaches. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt if you like.
Serve it with: Peach Honey Sticks, Lavender Wildflower Honey
What do you serve it with?
- A slice of pumpkin pie or our warm apple pie.
- Warm scones or biscuits with butter.
- Vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
- Roasted pears or peaches and a little goat cheese.
- A cheese board with sharp cheddar and toasted pecans.
How long does it keep?
Because it has water and lemon juice in it, keep it in a covered jar in the fridge and use it within 1 week. It thickens when cold; set the jar in warm water for a few minutes and stir.
How much lavender should you use?
1/8 teaspoon of buds is enough for this half cup. Steep and strain it; stirring whole buds into honey makes the flavor too strong and the texture gritty.
Make it your own
- Add a pinch of ground cinnamon for a warm spice twist.
- Use all Lavender Wildflower Honey for a classic floral drizzle.
- Thin it with a little more lemon juice and use it as a dip for apple slices.
