Honey Butter is delicious. It's something most everyone can make and most of the ingredients are either already in your cupboards or are readily available in any grocery store and most convenience stores. With Thanksgiving coming up, a great addition to the big meal is warm snowflake rolls with Honey Butter. It's also good on toast, English muffins, bagels or anything else you'd use butter with. Try it... you'll like it. Honey Butter1 stick of butter (soft but not melted) 2 oz of honey (not raw honey) pinch of ground cinnamon dribble of canola oil Put all into a bowl and mix well. With spatula, put into ramekin or other nice container and refrigerate. Remove from refrigerator a while before mealtime to allow the butter to soften (the canola oil helps the butter to spread more easily). [And yes, Alan, it's great on baby carrots]  |

Oops... I made a booboo in the Honey Butter recipe.
It says 2 ounces of honey.
It should be 2 Tbsp of honey (more or less to taste). There, that's better.
The canola oil is optional depending on how spreadable you like it, and how long you leave it out of the refrigerator before mealtime.

Well what do you know. I haven't bought honey in a long time and yesterday I was looking at what was offered at Walmart, my dream store. I found a product called imitation honey. It has no sugar and is not made by bee's. I feel sorry for the poor bee's. Maybe because the honey bee's are declining that industry doesn't want to loose money and is adjusting it product. I wonder if the clover taste is also fake.

Seaway Trail HoneyI recently read an article about honey (local lady that keeps hives). It said that most of the honey sold on your grocery shelf is not pure honey but has additives, corn syrup etc. This surprised me and I'm sure no where on the labels is it labeled such. From now on when I buy honey it will be straight from the bee keeper.

We buy our honey from a elderly local man that keeps bees. He has different varieties of honey from hives placed in different settings. He has clover honey that is quite good and another variety called sourwood honey. I am not sure what sourwood actually is, but the honey a little darker in color than clove honey and is quite tasty. I doubt that any of his honeys are pure clover or are derived from any one particular source of nectar. The hives may be located in close proximity to clover, but I am sure that bees wander where they may and collect nectar from a variety of sources.
Kathy steams the carrots with a liquid made up of a mixture of butter, a small amount of brown sugar, a small amount of honey, and some water, and then sprinkles the dish with a few sesame seeds. I personally like to add a little extra honey butter or just plain butter to the carrots in the serving dish when they are put on the table. I will have to tell her to try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the mix.
