Recently, we rediscovered our old Fitch Bay recipe book, graciously written by the talented Christine Deschesnes. Throughout its pages, there is a variety of recipes that emphasize our Quebec lavender and how we can add this distinctive flavor to our meals.
It is said that this dessert has charmed many food lovers, so we couldn't keep you from this delicious discovery. Here, without further ado, is the famous lavender fudge. Enjoy!
