Day 307 - Honey, Honey

Funny thing is up until a year or two ago, I never really cared for honey. My mom tried, but I just did not like the taste. I did like honey cough drops and such, but not the sticky substance. I couldn't see what people saw in it.

That all changed when we bought some honey from the local farmer's market. Barb likes honey, and we started using it for a ham glaze (which is really nice). Well I was put in charge of mixing the ingredients for the glaze. Sometimes the honey would need to be coaxed off the spoon. Well, it being sweet and all, somehow crossed my taste buds.

I really liked the taste. I tried honey before, but it never tasted like this. It was sooo good we started adding it to our coffee (which gives it a nice flavor). One day while enjoying a cup of coffee, I read the honey jar. It stated the honey was cultivated from bees on the local blueberry and strawberry farms of Nova Scotia.

That was it! That was the difference. The honey had a slight taste of wild berry to it.
Much different than other honey I tasted, which is probably cultivated near apple farms.

So now we go through a medium size jar a month. My grandmother is probably laughing - see I told you it was good. :)
