Strawberry Lavender Spread

$5.99 -- Strawberry Lavender Spread - "Love, Purity, Passion"

Love Potion #10?

Did you know that the strawberry was a symbol for Venus, the Goddess of Love, because of its heart shapes and red color. And legend has it that if you break a double strawberry in half and share it with a member of the opposite sex, you will fall in love with each other. In provincial France, strawberries were regarded as an aphrodisiac of the highest quality. Newlyweds traditionally were served a soup of thinned sour cream, strawberries, borage (a European herb whose flavor is reminiscent of cucumber) and powdered sugar.

Did you also know that lavender and love are an ancient match. Lavender brew was sipped by maidens on St. Lukes day to divine the identity of their true loves. "St. Luke, St. Luke, be kind to me, In my dreams, let me my true love see." So went the chant. Lavender in the pillows of alpine girls brought hope of romance, while lavender under the bed of newlyweds ensured passion.

This delicate combination of strawberries and lavender creates a taste of love, purity, passion and healing.

Excellent on scones, biscuits, toast, muffins and bagels. Also great as a topping on ice cream or a glaze for that holiday ham, pork roast or beef roast.
