Pan-Seared Apricots and Figs with Honey and Lavender

In a large nonstick skillet, boil the honey with the lemon juice and lavender over high heat until reduced slightly, 1 minute.

Arrange the apricots in the skillet, cut sides down. Cook over high heat until just tender, 2 minutes; turn and cook until softened, 1 minute longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apricots to plates.

Add the figs to the skillet and cook over high heat, turning once, until softened, 2 minutes. Spoon the figs and juices over the apricots. Garnish with the mint and serve.
