A good friend of mine who is a writer for The Chronicle here in San Francisco tends to the rooftop beehives at the paper's downtown location. I've had the pleasure of visiting the hives a few times and when she gave me some of the honey, I was dying to do a recipe. It took me quite a while to get around to it, I admit. Mostly because I wasn't really finding a fit for the honey's unique flavor...but I finally did!
This recipe is divine. The lavender and honey brighten the strawberry's more tart notes and just makes a lush, simple and scrumptious dessert. And I tested it with other honeys too and it works just as well.
