A Foodie/Cooking question
At a farmers market in Boston this weekend, I picked up this jar of raw honey. It's completely unlike anything I've tried before. It's got a super-creamy texture and has really strong tastes of lavender and clover.
I really want to do something with it that features the product but I'm coming up a little short on ideas.
What would you do with it?

Re: A Foodie/Cooking question
This is my southern side coming out, but pour it over warm buttered biscuits. It is AMAZING.
I've also made this and it seems like the flavors in your honey would be complementary: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chocolate-honey-almond-tart-recipe/index.html
Stand up for something you believe in.
Ohhhhh..the biscuit idea is fantastic!! Jon would LOVE that.
And that tart would be perfect to take to a get together this weekend.
Thanks Mary, those were perfect!!
I'm not from the south but I LOVE biscuits with honey.
The only thing I could think of making a frosting with it.

what would i do with it? personally? i would die. honey is evil. hissss.
but on a serious note, what about sticky buns?
I've never made a frosting with honey, but I'll check it out! I can see a cupcake with honey flavored frosting being really delicious! Thanks!
Booo. No one wants that!
Sticky buns would be awesome!!
You guys are so helpful
) I can't wait to make some of these things!
I cook/bake with honey pretty often (I go through a 32oz container every 2 months...), but if it's really that good, I would just use it, not really cook with it. I like the tart idea Mary suggested, and definitely pouring it over biscuits (although when I'm in the south, people always look at me weird for putting honey on biscuits, they only want sausage gravy). Lately I've been putting honey (boring store bought honey) on toast.
Honey as an ice cream topping is kind of crazy-good. I use it like normal people use hot fudge or caramel.
I'll report back if I think of anything else! And I'm totally jealous.
Sorry I can't recommend a recipe but I seem to recall an episode of Cupcake Wars when they used honey as an ingredient. I'm sure there's a recipe out there. Or you could just use it as a drizzle on top of a cupcake or cake instead of caramel.
Have fun experimenting!

Yes, yes. I would just pour the honey over biscuits.
I also make a fruit salad with a honey dressing. Something similar would be really good and a bit more healthy than the other suggestions.
I do a little honey on toast with peanut butter. I just felt weird about dumping some in tea when the texture and taste is so amazing.
I've never put honey on ice cream, but I'm going to try that immediately when I get home!
Ohh..banana cupcakes with a honey frosting! Good call on the frosting!
Thanks! These ideas are really making me want to get home and make something fun!
I've never had a fruit salad with honey, but it sounds delicious!
I would do biscuits too because I'm Southern like that.
ETA: I would also put it on some fried chicken because I like honey on my chicken.
OMG yes.
Stand up for something you believe in.
yum, raw honey on biscuits sounds amazing right now...
and I'm posting a honey grilled chicken tomorrow that we LOVE, would be good with raw honey too.
oh yes! Honey is great over manchego, too.
