Nectarines Poached in Lavender-Honey Syrup
Becky Luigart-Stayner
A sweet end to a dinner party, this unique dessert tastes great any way you prefer to serve it--warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Take care not to overcook the nectarines--they should be tender but not too soft.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a Dutch oven, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in lavender buds. Add nectarines. Reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until nectarines are just tender (do not overcook). Remove nectarines from pan with a slotted spoon, reserving liquid in pan.
Step 2
Bring liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 3 cups (about 10 minutes). Cool slightly. Serve syrup with nectarines and yogurt. Garnish with fresh lavender, if desired.
