Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

1/2 cup sugar
10 saffron threads
1 tablespoon fresh lavender flowers
3 Ruby Diamond nectarines, halved and pitted

Combine verjuice, sugar, and saffron in a saucepan and simmer until syrupy. Remove from heat and add lavender flowers. Heat a griddle Teflon pan until warm.
Place the nectarines flesh side down on griddle. Reduce heat, and slowly cook for 5 – 10 minutes. Nectarines should still be firm but heated through.
Remove from griddle and push a wooden skewer through each nectarine to make a tunnel. Remove skewer and replace with lavender sprigs.
