Lavender-pepper Pears


desserts

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 large ripe bartlett pears, peeled
1/8 teaspoon lavender, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon coarse cracked black pepper

Sprinkle the lemon juice over the pears. Combine the lavender and pepper and sprinkle over the pears. Serve on a plate with a knife and fork. Note: Adding a wedge of Italian Fontina or other mild semi-soft cheese as an accompaniment takes the dessert out of the "Heart-Healthy" category, but makes it a "More Betterly".
