This was dessert on a cooking class menu the other night. At the end of classes, I like to go around ask people what they now know that they didn't before. A couple of people mentioned that they were no longer afraid of using gelatin, and another said that she'd never really known how to use figs. Usually it's the lavender in something that people find unusual. Whatever, getting people past fears and opening their palates to a new flavor is just the best! <br /> <br />For those of you "afraid" of lavender, go be afraid of tornadoes, earthquakes, global warming. The relatively small amount of sweetening via honey lets the herbal notes of the lavender and rich fruitiness of the figs shine. Between the lavender and figs, also, the color is lovely. And the sour cream renders a very gentle texture.
