Ingredients

 

1 cup water 250 ml
1/2 cup granulated sugar 125 ml
1/2 tsp dried lavender petals 2 ml
4 Ontario peaches, peeled and halved 4
1 tbsp icing sugar 15 ml
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese 125 ml
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 2 ml
1/2 cup 35% whipping cream 125 ml

Directions

In large pot over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil five minutes (do not stir). Add lavender; remove from heat and let sit one hour.

Add peaches to lavender syrup. Over medium-high heat, poach eight minutes or until fruit is soft. Remove peaches with slotted spoon; continue cooking syrup 15 minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup (50 ml).

In medium bowl, beat cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form; fold in cheese and nutmeg.

Arrange two peach halves each on four plates; top with Mascarpone cream and drizzle with lavender syrup.
