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

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.
