Hey there, honey lovers! Susan Stewart here from Local Nashville Honey, and I’m buzzing with excitement for the holidays! Christmas is a time for traditions, family, and of course, delicious food. And let me tell you, honey plays a starring role in many of our festive favorites.
Beyond the Honey-Baked Ham
While honey-baked ham is a classic for a reason, there’s so much more you can do with this liquid gold during the holidays. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Sweeten your baked goods: Swap out sugar for honey in your favorite cookie recipes. Not only does it add a unique flavor, but it also helps keep your cookies moist and chewy. Think gingerbread cookies with a touch of wildflower honey or pecan tassies with a drizzle of sourwood honey.
- Create festive drinks: Warm up with a hot toddy made with local honey, lemon, and your favorite bourbon. Or, try a honey-sweetened cranberry spritzer for a refreshing holiday mocktail.
- Gift the goodness of honey: A jar of local honey makes a wonderful gift for friends, neighbors, and teachers. Pair it with a festive tea towel or a homemade honey-infused soap for an extra special touch.
- Glaze your roasted vegetables: Add a touch of sweetness and depth to your holiday side dishes with a honey glaze. Roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes all benefit from a drizzle of honey in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Make homemade candy: Honeycomb candy is a fun and festive treat that’s surprisingly easy to make. Or, try your hand at honey-caramel candies for a truly decadent treat.
