Using Your Share - June Edition

Every week we receive wonderful farm fresh foods and then have to figure out how to use them all before the next week when more wonderful farm fresh foods arrive. Sometimes it is just a challenge to figure out what the item IS, let alone how to eat it all before it goes bad or you are inundated with more yummy food.

Strawberry Lavender Spritzer

Inspired by Kate's posting on lavender, I came across this in my travels, a strawberry lavender spritzer!  Looks refreshing on a hot day (this weekend may bring us warmer weather).

1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh lavender buds
• 3 cups white wine (or one 750 ml bottle)
• 4 cups mineral water
• 4 to 6 fresh lavender sprigs
• 4 to 6 fresh strawberries
