It's OK to own more than one jar of honey at a time!
Here is what to do with the jar of honey you already have so you will put it on your list to buy another jar of honey - and another - and another and another...
- Put honey in your tea - hot or cold - black, green, or white
- Put honey in your coffee in the morning. - Put honey on your ice cream at night
- Put honey in your chai
- Put honey on your toast, or on your cereal
- Make a trench in your cream cheese on the bagel and add honey
- Be Greek - put it in your plain yogurt
- Any time of the day or night
- Make a peanut butter and honey sandwich for lunch- If you use Crystal's All Natural honey, you won't have to eat over the kitchen sink, because this honey stays where you put it!
- Mix Orange Blossom honey with room temperature sour cream and pout on sliced strawberries, bananas, or other fruit for a mysteriously delicious dessert, whipped cream optional.
- Eat honey by the teaspoon out of the jar - it beats commercially produced corn syrup based candy, hands down. It satisfies instantly - ask your resident Pooh Bear!
- Put out sliced apples, sliced cheddar cheese, walnuts and honey for an after school snack.
- Mash an orange around on the table, cut a hole in one end, stab the knife around inside, being careful NOT to puncture the skin, pour in some Crystal's Cranberry or Crystal's Wildflower and hand it to your kid for an after school snack. They will suck all the juice out, and then eat it all except for the peel. Have one yourself. It's the Original Chewable Vitamin C!

Hot Toddy Recipe: 1/2 whole fresh lemon, juiced onto the mug, put the peel in as well, 2 tbsp. Crystal's Wildflower honey or Crystal's Nantucket Cranberry - add boiling water - stir while sniffling the steam. Sip and sniff.
Winter grilled beef or pork:
For sauce use these proportions:
3/4lb meat: 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp. Crystal's Blueberry honey, 1 tbs. virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp. sea salt, some grinds of black pepper.
Put ingredients in a big ceramic or glass bowl, large enough to receive the meat hot off the grill. Whisk. If using beef, add 3 fingers (sprigs about 3" long) of fresh rosemary cut up with scissors, so the spice releases into the sauce.
If using pork or chicken, cut up with shears about 10 sprigs of fresh cilantro into the sauce. Cut your meat into 1.5-inch cubes, cut up some onions in chunks - skewer meat and onions. Grill on charcoal or gas grill. When done use a fork and pull HOT meat off the skewers into the bowl with the sauce (meat will sizzle) and toss/stir so meat is flavored - serve immediately with roasted almond pilaf or roasted potatoes and steamed kale.
