Title: Lavender Vinegar
Categories: Herb Dressing Condiment
Yield: 1 Servings

		Distilled white vinegar *
		Lavender flowers

* Flavored vinegars and stronger ones will compete with the herb : for your senses.

Place "some" (say, a small handful) in a modicum (say, a pint) of vinegar. Let stand 4-6 weeks. Use it as a dressing for fruit salads.

Even simpler: a few lavender leaves, washed, scattered into a garden salad add what the authors of _Joy of Cooking_ (Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker) call a "bitter pungency." In the US recently, "bitter pungency" in the form of radicchio commands a handsome price in the market, so let not this opportunity pass! From: Greg Mayman Date: 31 Aug 97 National Cooking Echo Ä
