Ingredients

½ cup fresh whole Red Raspberries

½ cup fresh Strawberries, trimmed and sliced in half

LEMON SYRUP

5 Tbls water

2 Tbls Sugar

2 ounces fresh Lemonade

LAVENDER CRIPS

2 Tbls Light Corn Syrup

2 Sprigs Lavender, crushed

BASIL SORBET

15 Basil Leaves (Leave a few whole ones for Garnish)

6 Tbls Water

2 Tbls Sugar

2 Tsp fresh Lemon Juice

Directions

The day before serving.

LEMON SYRUP

Combine Water, Sugar and Lemonade in a small saucepan and stir until Sugar dissolves completely. (Warm slightly if you have to.) Cover and refrigerate 24 hrs.

LAVENDER CRISPS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat Corn Syrup over medium heat for 1 minute or until it thins out. (I heated the entire bottle in a pan of water or you could microwave it)

Using a brush, brush Corn Syrup on a cookie sheet or Silpat mat and sprinkle with Lavender. Bake for 7 minutes and let cool. Break into large pieces.

BASIL SORBET

Finely chop half the Basil leaves. Combine chopped Basil with 2 Tbls. Water and set aside. Combine the remaining Water with the Sugar and cook until it dissolves completely and forms a syrup. (2 – 3 Minutes). Add the Syrup and Lemon Juice to the chopped basil and freeze for 8 hrs. stirring the mixture every few hours.

TO ASSEMBLE

Fill a Martini glass or Flute with Berries. Top with Lemon Syrup, a small scoop of Basil Sorbet, and Garnish with a Lavender crisp (Try to arrange it so it stands up) and whole Basil leaves. Repeat for each serving…

You have got to be kidding me! Wow. Okay...let me think about this, as I'm trying to get my tired head around this delightful offering.

*Pause* (Reflection time)

Okay, I am a crazy woman for sorbet. I love raspberries and strawberriees with a passion. You have the lemon syrup - and I adore citrus and simple syrups. (Note various cocktails...my bad.)

The lavender is kind of new to me and those crisps - well - how unique and interesting....with the basil-flavored sorbet. I love basil and am growing it even as we type....

I think I need to do this with your Roasted Beet Salad - both sound so divine and different to me. Making notes and making grocery lists.. you are The Man....dear one. I am astounded. Truly.
