HOMEMADE LAVENDER HONEY FROM SOUTH WEST FRANCE
A quick and easy home-made honey recipe from the Auberge in South West France! I use lavender honey so much in my cooking, that I thought it was about time I made my own - given that I have about 30 lavender bushes! As well as giving an amazing and subtle flavour to your recipes, it also makes a wonderful gift for a fellow foodie. I plan on making my own lavender honey all the time now, as even in France, it is quite expensive to buy. You can increase the quantities to make more jars - just remember to keep the flower to honey ratio the same.

Steps:
- Heat honey in a bowl over boiling water (a bain-marie) until very hot, but NOT boiling, then add the lavender flowers and stir well.
- Continue to heat over a low heat for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little before covering with a net or fly cover and placing in the sun for about 3 to 4 hours.
- Pour the honey through a mesh sieve and discard the cooked lavender.
- Put honey in jar, cover tightly and label. Keeps like normal honey, but is best in a cool, dark and dry place.

HOMEMADE LAVENDER HONEY
In Provence, lavender honey is made by the bees that frequent the wild purple-budded bushes growing near their hives. Be aware that this homemade version, infused with lavender flowers, needs to stand for 24 hours before being used. If you purchase dried lavender flowers, be sure that they are culinary quality. A lovely gift! From "From the Cook's Garden".

Steps:
- Warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lavender. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
- Warm the honey again over low heat until it is liquid enough to pour freely. Strain through a wire sieve (I place a clean paper coffee filter inside the mesh strainer), into a clean jar. Cool and cover.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Serve at room temperature.

We made this in a "Cooking with Herbs" class I went to a few months ago. The lavender adds a wonderful taste and aroma to the honey. Drizzle over toast, scones, pancakes, waffles, granola....possiblilties are endless! This will fill your kitchen with such a heavenly smell as it simmers. I use it drizzled over my sour crean pound cake (recipe to be posted soon)

AUBERGE FRENCH LAVENDER PANCAKES WITH LAVENDER HONEY
Our own Auberge de la Fontaine Lavender Pancakes - these are made with home-grown organic lavender flowers from our garden here in SW France, where we often serve them for breakfast! They also make a very elegant dessert when served with cream and fruit - I sometimes serve them with Recipe #241775. If you cannot get hold of culinary lavender, these pancakes are just fine if served with the lavender honey, butter and/or cream and fresh fruit.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients together.
- Add the milk, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Whisk in the melted butter until the batter is thick and very smooth.
- Heat frying pan or griddle over medium heat, and spray with cooking oil spray or grease with a knob of butter.
- Spoon the pancake batter onto the griddle in equal amounts and cook until bubbles come to the surface of the batter and the edges start to curl up.
- Flip pancakes with a spatula, and cook for a few seconds more on the second side.
- Check underneath for a golden brown colour- if they are too pale, keep cooking them a bit longer.
- When they are done, remove them from the griddle/frying pan and put on a large heat-proof plate in the oven to keep warm and continue until all the batter is used.
- Makes about a dozen pancakes.
- Top with Lavender honey and cream, or butter and Lavender honey.
- Great with fruit also!
