Honey Tips

Honey Is Magic

In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.

Directions

Place water, honey and orange juice into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add peach slices. Return to a boil and cook until peach slices are tender. Remove from heat and cool.
Working in small batches, puree in blender until smooth. Transfer to bowl, stir in half and half. Chill until cold. May be prepared up to 2 days ahead.
To serve, spoon into bowls and garnish with a mint leaf.
