Ingredients:

Lavender Honey Glaze:

1-1/2 tsp. lavender blossoms, dried
1/2 cup honey, warmed
1 Tbsp. fresh orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed

Fruit Salad:

4 cups California blue-black seedless grapes
3 cups blackberries
3 cups dark, sweet cherries (such as Bing), pitted
2 cups black-skin plums, sliced
12 each fresh lavender blossom sprigs, for garnish

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together lavender honey glaze ingredients until well combined. In a large bowl, combine fruits for salad. Pour lavender honey glaze over fruits and toss gently to coat. Garnish with fresh lavender blossom sprigs.
Other Notes:

Lavender, which is used in many Provencal French dishes, adds a fragrant note to this fruit salad. Sage or thyme also works well.
