buy some high quality honey

Last week when I cleaned out the cupboards, I tossed out the dregs of two old honey containers, and mentioned that we needed to get some more. Some of the good stuff. I meant to add this to my list then.

When we were off on our Sunday adventure, we started noticing hand painted road signs for honey. We followed them along dusty country roads flanked by cows and old red barns, eventually coming to a lane with a “please honk” sign in the driveway, and behind that, a table full of glowing golden jars of honey. A smiling woman with ladybug earrings came out and chatted with us as we did a tasting with little wooden sticks covered in delicious sticky sweetness.

We decided to go with the maple/blueberry. It’s delicious enough to eat straight, and perfect on a toasted bagel or in tea. I can’t get enough. And the experience brought back wonderful memories of sucking honey off the comb with my grandpa many, many years ago. Another place we’ll be back to.

Oh my. It’s raw and unheated and so, so good.

I don’t usually like a lot of honey at once but this stuff I just want to eat out of the jar with a spoon.
