Ideas for the jar
Infusions
Ginger Honey
Thin coins of fresh ginger left in honey until it turns sharp and warming. A spoonful in hot water is the whole recipe for a cold evening.
Dinner
Honey-Roasted Squash with Thyme
Butternut roasted hot with olive oil, then finished with honey and thyme so the edges go dark and sticky.
Breakfast
Warm Oats with Honey & Apples
Steel-cut or rolled oats, apples softened in the pot, and a ribbon of honey at the end. Autumn mornings.
Dessert
Skillet Sourdough Cornbread with Salted Honey
Cornbread baked in a screaming-hot cast iron pan so the edges fry, then flooded with honey and flaky salt while still warm.
