Oh, I get giddy over fudge and this is such a simple and delicious fudge that can be made in 3 minutes! Seriously...3 minutes! Fudge always makes me think of my grandpa. When ever we were kids visiting with my grandparents and my cousins my grandfather would make us fudge over the cookstove! Yes, they actually had one in their kitchen along with a conventional oven. He would stir and stir...felt like it took forever. The funny thing is that it never got firm...or we never let it get firm. We called it, spoon fudge! My cousins and I would gather around with our spoons devouring it. What great memories! My grandpa has been gone a long time now, but this recipe is for him...he would have loved it and would have gotten the spoons out for us!  Lavender Fudge Lavender Fudge 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 1 (12 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cups walnuts (optional) 1 tsp Lavender Extract In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Place in microwave for 60 seconds, stir and microwave for 60 seconds more. Line a 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. When your chocolate chips have completely melted give it a quick stir and add nuts and 1 tsp Lavender Extract. Stir to combine and pour into your prepared pan. Let it sit and cool or get out a spoon!  If you make it give us a little tag at #norwoodlavenderfarm we would love to see it!
Go out and be inspired with lavender!

This lavender appetizer is sure to please anyone looking to add the sophistication and elegance to their appetizer plate. These infused wine and lavender blackberries are a treat on top of brie cheese and a elegant lavender lemon curd. Dreamy....delicious and oh so yummy!  Wine & Lavender-Soaked Berries 1/2 cup red wine ( or non alcoholic version would be grape juice) 1 Tbsp Lavender Simple Syrup 1 tsp lemon juice Lavender Cocktail Picks Lemon Lavender Curd 1/4 cup Lemon Curd 1/2 tsp Lavender Extract Thin wafer style crackers Stir together, red wine, Lavender Simple Syrup and lemon juice into a small bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups of fresh blackberries to your wine mixture. Let the berries soak for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. In a small bowl combine lemon curd and lavender extract, stir until combined.  Brie & Berry Cocktail Bites
To assemble your Lavender Cocktail Picks, smear a little Lemon Lavender Curd onto your cracker, cut your brie cheese into small squares, poke a hole through the cheese with a toothpick. Insert your lavender cocktail into a pre-poked berry and then into cheese square, place on top of cracker and lemon curd. The trick to Lavender Cocktail Picks is to think light. They aren't super strong, so you are looking to add the garnish bling but keeping in mind they are fragile. Make them just before serving.
