Honey and Lavender Glazed Fruit Pairings with Andrea : Episode FLPWA-104L
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
1/2-cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2-cup honey
1 small bunch lavender
1 large ripe pineapple, peeled, quartered, cored and cut into half-inch-thick wedges
3 slightly under-ripe bananas, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
3 ripe but firm peaches, peeled, halved, pitted
1 pint vanilla ice cream, optional
Instructions:
- Combine butter, honey and lavender in a small saucepan and heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is just coming to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and let sit in pan for 30 minutes.
- Remove lavender and discard. Pour syrup through a fine strainer and into a bowl or measuring cup to remove any stray lavender leaves.
- Preheat gas grill to medium and lightly oil grate.
- Place all fruits on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with honey glaze.
- Grill until fruit is heated through, slightly tender and caramelized about four minutes total for bananas, six for pineapple and peaches. As the fruits cook, brush them once or twice with additional glaze and turn once.
- Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
