I just had a peppermint tea with honey and thought of you. Two gallons of honey! It's good to see that the bees are not dying out in NZ.
I'm drinking a cocktail I made with honey, gin, elderflower liquor, lemoncello, muddled ginger and lime juice. -mmm. But without the honey it wouldn't be drinkable. Honey is an amazing food/sweetener. Anyone know why you're not supposed to give it to infants/babies? [edit] in case anyone is interested, apparently in babies under 1 year old honey is ill advised because it can be a carrier of botulism.
I use honey in my pasta sauce along with jalapeño to give it and awesome sweet heat. I saute fresh garlic, onions, summer squash, couple tomatoes and a jalapeño in some olive oil, then add a can of these: http://www.digregoriofoods.com/shop/dei-fratelli-chopped-ita... to round it out. Criss cross the top of the pan with honey a couple times and you're good to go. Just be careful not to make it too sweet. The honey-jalapeno character of the sauce is really tasty.
Sounds nice ecib. I've always used sugar and garlic in my pasta sauce but never honey/jalapeno. Jalapeño can be such a versatile pepper. It's got just enough heat to make an impact but still mild enough so that just about anyone can eat what your making. Looks like I'll have some applications for my honey when briandmyers sends it my way. (I'll pay shipping handling :))
