Local Honey San Jose

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and on behalf of all of us here at The Honey Ladies we wish all of you a wonderful and joyous time with your friends and family.

With that being said, here is a recipe that we recommend for your Thanksgiving meal:

Honey-Glazed Turkey Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
• GLAZE:
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• STUFFING:
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1-1/2 cups chopped celery
• 12 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes or dry bread cubes
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups boiling water

Directions

1. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Bake at 325° for 2 hours.
2. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; brush over turkey. Bake 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
3. For stuffing, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until tender. Add stuffing cubes and seasonings; toss to combine. Stir in enough boiling water to reach desired moistness; transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
4. Remove turkey from oven; cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving. If desired, skim fat and thicken pan drippings for gravy. Serve with turkey and stuffing. Yield: 14 servings (8 cups stuffing).

Editor's Note: Stuffing can also be baked in turkey. Loosely stuff turkey just before baking; bake as directed, increasing final bake time by 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 180° in thigh and 165° in center of stuffing.

Local Honey in San Jose

Here are some facts that you probably didn't know about:

• Hands down, unprocessed local honey is the best. Raw honey is the least processed and has the most nutrients.
• When honey is exposed to high heat, it loses most of it's nutrients and benefits. Try not to microwave your honey!
• Did you know the darker the honey, the stronger the flavor will beeeeee...plus more nutrients as well as antioxidents.
• Fun Fact: Buckwheat honey is among the most nutrient rich honeys and has been found to be a great cough suppressant. This type of honey is a toss up for a lot of people because it is so dark and rich. Try mixing it with a milder honey if you think it's too much.
• Be sure to store your honey at room temperature to avoid crystallization. If your honey does crystallize, set it in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes which will help it to restore to it's normal consistency. 

Cough remedy?

Studies have shown that honey can calm a cough as well as, or even better than, over-the-counter cough medicines. Honey has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and can fight bacteria. Combine it with the nutrients in lemons & other citrus, herbs, and spices, and you've got a natural, delicious way to treat cold and flu symptoms. Blends of honey and citrus can be swallowed straight from a spoon or stirred into hot water or tea. The steam and warmth of hot tea and water are also soothing to sore throats and can relieve stuffiness.

Did someone say Popcorn??

Being in the industry has it's perks, and having an abundance of honey leads me at times to some really cool recipes that I either find or concoct myself. Well the other day, I found a pretty sweet recipe on the site naturalnews.com. Written by Christy Pooschke, she hooks us up with a Popcorn recipe you are surely going to want to try out.

Healthier Sweet 'n' Salty Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 4 TBSP butter (or coconut oil)
• 2 TBSP honey (preferably raw)
• 1/8 - 1/4 tsp sea salt, to taste

Directions

• Pop the popcorn into a large bowl using an air popper. (If you prefer, you may use the stove-top method, instead, using the directions printed on most bags of popcorn kernels. In that case, coconut oil is a great choice for stove-top cooking.)
• Meanwhile, melt the honey and butter (or oil) together on the stove in a small pan over low- to- medium-low heat.
• When the popcorn is done, pour the butter/oil and honey mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat.
• Sprinkle the popcorn with sea salt and toss to coat it evenly.
• This treat is sticky and delicious, and it makes enough to serve 2 to 4 people.

Looks pretty darn good to me, how about you?
