mother’s day lavender almonds

On my last trip to Boston, I was at the market near the waterfront.  One of the vendors was selling many different flavors of a variety of nuts.  I tried quite a few flavors and picked out some to bring home.

After I got back home and sampled my purchases, I found my favorite of the nuts were the ones flavored Limoncello lavender.  I thought the aroma and subtle taste of the lavender on the nuts was fabulous!

The nuts I brought home didn’t last very long and I found myself wishing I had more!  It wasn’t long before I decided to make my own lavender flavored almonds…substituting vanilla for the Limoncello.  After several attempts at creating vanilla lavender almonds, I found the recipe here to be the winning combination of ingredients.

I wish someone had invented a scratch and sniff computer screen so you could smell the heavenly aroma of the lavender!  Give the recipe a try – maybe you will be inspired to adjust the flavors/amounts to your own taste and come up with your own flavor combination!

I think this treat is great to gift for Mother’s Day!  Try packaging the almonds in a pretty jar or a vintage teacup!

Maybe for the next holiday I will try to recreate my second favorite flavor –  the bananas foster flavored nuts!

Thanks for stopping by!  Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
