I love today’s recipe. I am a huge fan of using edible flowers in cooking, especially in desserts and this Blueberry Lavender Syrup is a must-try recipe. It is very easy to make and the lavender adds a special touch to the (already delicious) blueberry syrup. Besides, I love how versatile this syrup is. You can use it to top your vanilla ice cream or your pancakes, and you can even add it to drinks! I have already tried it for so many different dishes! In fact, come back in a couple of days, as I will share one such delicious recipe in my next post! In the meantime… get your Blueberry Lavender Syrup bubbling on the stove!

I have two questions. is it the leaves of the Lavender plant that are used ?
The other deals with your Recipe : Mozzarella and Sun dried Tomato Pork Sausage. Can you help out an American already dealing with Grams what “1593 3/4 g Pork scotch fillet” is ? Never heard that term before (“Rashers” means Bacon, correct?).
Hi James!
Thanks for your comment! I use edible lavender flowers – dried – the tiny purple bits basically.
As for the sausage, you need 1.75 pounds of pork scotch fillet (which is the lean part) and then a little less than 1 pound of fatty meat. In Australia, rashers are thickly slices of pork belly. You can just use pork belly (without the rind). I hope it helps. Let me know!! 🙂
Cheers,
Manu
I’m curious as to what a “Pork Scotch Fillet” is. I’ve never encountered it before.
You can use pork neck for this. You need an soft cut with more meat than fat.
