My husband, a former beekeeper, one summer when we were beekeeping that we would be able to take off some honey from the hives. I was so, EXCITED, and geared up my taste buds for some of that long-awaited honey. I thought about what I would do with the first tastings of pure honey from the “Wright Family Farm,” and the family suggested homemade biscuits. So, I decided I would get my Honey Butter Recipe out and share it online, as it makes for a delicious topping on biscuits. There are all kinds of different recipes for Honey Butter, some call for raw egg, some call for confectioner’s sugar; some add cinnamon…such as mine does.

Experiment for yourself, and when possible, buy pure honey from a Natural Beekeeper that opts not to use chemicals in their beehives. When I talk about “Pure” honey, I’m talking about honey that corn syrup has not been added to it, to stretch the honey. I’m also talking about honey that is taken off a hive where the beekeeper doesn’t use any chemicals in the keeping of their bee colonies inside the hive. Yes, it is true, beekeeping is simple, but complicated– a hobby for some, a source of “money for honey” for others…
