Serves 6

Ingredients

Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Dried lavender buds
2 tablespoons
Water
1 cup
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Mixed fresh fruits
4 cups (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, and pineapple), chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lavender buds.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the lavender to infuse its flavor.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  5. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the lavender buds.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fresh fruits.
  7. Drizzle the lavender syrup over the fruits, then add the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  8. Gently toss the fruits to coat them evenly with the syrup.
  9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 Try using seasonal fruits for the best flavor and presentation.
  • 💡 For a twist, add a splash of orange or lime juice along with the lemon juice.
  • 💡 You can also substitute the lavender syrup with a honey-lavender mixture for a different sweetness.
