You may want to experiment with some of the more unusual varieties. Here are some sweet ideas regarding honey. To produce just one pound of honey, bees must forage over a flight path equal to three trips around the world. While doing this, they burn up only one ounce of honey as fuel. Honey continues today to offer all the qualities that have made it a favorite sweetener since prehistoric times.
Honey is a versatile food that enhances and accents the flavors of other foods.
It is used as a spread, topping for fruit, fruit salad, or ice cream and a small amount gives an excellent flavor to whipped cream. It can also be used to sweeten cold or hot cereals, and in beverages such as milk, tea, juice, lemon or orangeade. Brushed or drizzled on ham during the last half hour of baking, honey adds flavor and creates a golden glaze. The honey should be mixed with the liquid in the recipe, then thoroughly blended with the other ingredients to prevent a soggy layer from forming on top. Products made with honey also brown faster, so reduce your oven temperature by 25 degrees.
