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. We always love when we inspire others with our lavender recipes! If you make this share with us #norwoodlavenderfarm so we can see it. If you share our recipe or photo we just ask that you give photo and recipe credit. Go out and be inspired with lavender!

Audry, that is awesome about your new lavender farm and learning new skills of distillation. We put recipes up consistently here on our website and on our social media so check back occasionally to find the ones that work for you. Good news my lavender cookbook will hopefully be published by the new year so stay tuned for that.

AuthorI am Nicole Callen, lavender lover, farmer, and owner of Norwood Lavender Farm. My intention for this page is to bring you great lavender related content that you can use. Most of it contains culinary adventures that transpire in my kitchen, as I have a love for the complex floral flavor and depth that lavender brings to cooking. I like to say, "where nature meets gourmet". Categories
