Ready to give Pure Naked Raw Comb Honey a try?

These easy ideas for using honeycomb should give you a start.

  • Stir chopped honeycomb into plain Greek-style yogurt. Or try it stirred into softened vanilla ice cream. Just don’t refreeze the ice cream (treat it like soft-serve), as the honeycomb will get brittle.
  • Place a chunk of honeycomb over a bowl of warm oatmeal. Ditto for warm pancakes and waffles. And don’t even get me started about warm tapioca or rice pudding.
  • Slather a baguette with Brie, then top with chunks of honeycomb. It’s a simple and divine sandwich.
  • Add a few small chunks of honeycomb to an otherwise conventional grilled ham and cheese.
  • Make a salad of arugula, grilled chicken and slivered almonds. Top with crumbled soft goat cheese and small chunks of honeycomb.
  • Make a ragingly spicy chili, then serve each bowl with a chunk of honeycomb and a blob of sour cream in the center. The honeycomb will slowly melt into the chili, working with the sour cream to tame the heat ever so slightly.

 

For novice honeycomb eaters, I always recommend the following:

  • Toast a piece of your favorite bread or an English muffin. While it is still very hot, spread it lightly with butter. With a knife, cut a chunk of comb honey and spread it over the toast. You may have to mash it a bit, but the heat will soften the comb so it flattens into the toast along with the honey. It doesn’t melt, but becomes soft and aromatic. It is also good on hot biscuits, French toast, or pancakes.
  • Trendy restaurants often serve comb honey in the centre of a plate surrounded by a selection of expensive cheeses and multi-grain crackers. The idea here is to cover the cracker with a piece of cheese and top it off with a small chunk of comb. This works great with cheddar or brie, but any cheese will work.
  • Remember – A little goes a long way with both honey and cheese. You don’t want to drown the cheese in honey—it’ll be too sweet and it’ll also be a mess to eat. Just drizzle it on right before serving, or, alternatively, offer the honey in a little dish with a small spoon so guests can drizzle it themselves.
