Method

Adjust the oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the apricots, cut side up, in a cast-iron skillet.  Add the lavender sprigs and sprinkle with the sugar.  Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the apricots start to soften and release their juice.

Wile they're still warm, drizzle the apricots with the sweet wine and the honey.  Let them sit for 3 minutes, remove the lavender sprigs, and then serve.  (You can also let the apricots cool completely and serve them at room temperature.)

Serves: 4
