Honey Tips
Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Coat paper lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Stir spices together in a small bowl.
In a heavy medium sized saucepan bring honey to a boil. Stir in chopped nuts and ½ teaspoon of the spice mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat maintaining simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring often. Be sure to maintain a low temperature so mixture does not turn too dark.
Remove from heat. Stir in remaining spices and pour candy onto prepared cookie sheet. Spread out using the back of a spoon into an 8 X 11-inch rectangle. Let cool. Once set cut into 1-inch squares and store between layers of parchment paper.
Yields: 60-70 candy squares
