As the weather gets chillier, it's a perfect time to cozy up with some comforting treats. One ingredient that adds loads of nourishment and flavor is our local organic honey. With its creamy-smooth texture and mild sweetness, it takes baked goods, beverages and more to the next level. Here are some delicious ways our Balara team have enjoyed using cream honey this winter - maybe you'll find some new ideas to try yourself!
Delectable Breakfast Delights
Morning Muffins: Nothing beats a warm muffin on a frosty morning. I mix a spoonful of cream honey into the batter - it adds moisture and a subtle sweetness without overpowering the other flavors. So delicious!
Heavenly Hot Beverages
Honey Lemon Tea: On extra icy days, I brew a pot of black tea and stir in a decent glug of cream honey until dissolved. The honey takes the edge off the tea's boldness while the lemonbrightens things up. Very soothing with a good book by the fireplace.
Flavorsome Salad Dressings
Winter Harvest Salad: Roasting veggies like brussels sprouts and butternut squash really concentrates their natural sugars. Tossing them with a simple vinaigrette made from cream honey, olive oil and Dijon is outstanding. The creamy honey coats everything for intense flavor.
Irresistible Glazes and Marinades
Chicken with Creamy Sage: Bone-in chicken breasts become fall-off-the-bone tender when simmered in a sauce of cream, chicken broth and chopped sage. A drizzle of cream honey before serving adds balancing sweetness to cut through the richness.
Decadent Desserts
Cream Honey Fudge: Who can resist a homemade treat? This simple fudge blends cream honey with butter and cocoa powder for smooth, luscious bites of goodness. No need to wait for a special occasion - it's the perfect pick-me-up any time.
