the intensity of the perfume I must admit that I went cautiously, so as to remove the lavender at the end of cooking, because I feared the effect of soap / deodorante.Più that "lavender peach jam", the words would be more appropriate "to the scent Lavender "!
However, after it spread on toast, crackers or panbrioche-like in the photo-breakfast during the winter and spring, noting that the faint smell remained even in nice weather even gave a special flavor to a jam, some days ago I told myself that it was time to publish the recipe!

Always travel and last minute, but I could not participate in the contest " fire grids " organized by the edible food blog!
That kind of barbecue is one of my dreams, manca volta che non mi soffermi ad ammirarli quando vado in un centro per il giardinaggio di Bologna.
Quando li vedo non penso a  grigliate di carne o pesce,sono gli accessori e gli usi -definiamoli alternativi- che questa tipologia di barbecue consente che mi colpiscono maggiormente,come ad es la cottura indiretta e quindi io sogno di preparare pane,pizze e focacce.
Per cui ho deciso di partecipare a questo contest con delle piadine cotte sul testo di terracotta e se proprio si vuole il top usando la teglia originale di Montetiffi.
Piadine che ho immaginato in versione finger food servite calde con brie e gelatina di uva spina ,un antipasto veloce da preparare e da gustare mentre si attende che sia pronta una bella grigliata di carne!!

500g di farina 0

When my little helper has given its OK to mature, we are armed with trash and go to pick gooseberries.
Thorns pricked and scratched, but we have not given up the trash and eventually we filled!
The only use that came to my mind was to make the berries in jelly. The recipe Ferber

Weigh the juice, add sugar according to the proportion written in the ingredients and the lemon juice.
Put the syrup on the fire, possibly in a wide mouthed pan to facilitate evaporation and cook until desired consistency is reached.
Difficult give time for quast'ultima phase, because much depends on the quantities of syrup and processed on the size of the pan.
At the end I added a cup of coffee syrup of cassis (black currant).
