Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherries, halved
  • 1 cup raw pecans, rough chopped
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 plums, chopped small
  • 1 nectarine, chopped small
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds, whole
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lavender flowers (optional)

Tools

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Medium bowl with tight-fitting lid, or storage container

Method

  1. Halve cherries and remove pits. Chop stone fruits small.
  2. Mix all fruit together in a big bowl with pecans. Sprinkle chia seeds over top, and fold everything together, carefully so as not to smoosh the berries too much.
  3. Sprinkle lavender flowers over top, which will perfume the whole thing a bit and you’ll smell it upon opening the container later on in the day.
  4. Keep chilled until ready to eat, either in a cooler or an insulated food container.
