Lavender Wildflower Honey: A Golden Everyday Jar with a Floral Finish
Save
Our Lavender Wildflower Honey is the jar that disappears fastest in our own kitchen. Rich, golden wildflower honey gets a delicate hint of lavender, so every spoonful tastes a little like summer on the farm, even in February.
What it tastes like
Wildflower honey has a fuller, rounder flavor than a mild clover honey, and the lavender adds a soft floral finish on top. It is balanced, not perfumy, which is why tea drinkers and bakers both end up keeping a jar on the counter.
Sweet and savory ways to use it
| Use | Ideas |
|---|---|
| Drinks | Tea, lemonade, a warm latte or an iced latte with honey cold foam |
| Breakfast | Yogurt, oatmeal, biscuits, cornbread and pancakes |
| Cheese board | Drizzled over goat cheese, brie or sharp cheddar with nuts and fruit |
| Dressings | Whisked with lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and a pinch of salt |
| Glazes and marinades | Brushed on roast chicken, salmon or roasted vegetables near the end of cooking |
A tip for glazes: honey browns quickly, so brush it on during the last part of cooking rather than at the start.
A quick honey lavender vinaigrette
Shake together one part lavender wildflower honey, one part lemon juice or vinegar and two to three parts olive oil, with a spoonful of mustard and a pinch of salt. It is lovely on greens with berries and goat cheese, and it keeps in the refrigerator for about a week.
Storing honey and handling crystals
Store the jar at room temperature with the lid tight. Honey naturally crystallizes over time, especially in a cool pantry; it is not spoiled. Set the jar in a bowl of warm water and stir now and then until it is smooth again. Avoid boiling or very high heat, which can change the flavor. Check the label for ingredients and allergen information.
A pantry gift
A jar of honey is one of the most welcome hostess gifts there is. Pair it with a scone or cookie mix in the Gift Box Builder, or browse more lavender gifts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bake with it?
Yes. It works in muffins, glazes and honey butter. Because honey browns faster than sugar, watch baked goods toward the end.
Is it safe for babies?
No honey of any kind should be given to babies under one year old.
