In a Jam

We are the luckiest girls in the world...

last night at the store we had our

  "Jammin' with Becky" Class!

 and we couldn't resist showing you the delicious pictures....

Our guest of honor was our dear friend and honorary Summer Kitchen Girls

Becky from Schooner Farms...

She showed our guests how to make delicious low-sugar jams

(refer to first tasty picture above!)

 

 No need for words....

It was a beautiful evening

beautiful guests & friends!

So....bet you can't guess what we had for breakfast this morning....

"Jelly, Jam, and Buttered Toast"

Jelly, jam, and buttered toast.
I like breakfast food the most.
Bagels, cream cheese, juices -- fresh squeeze,
make me say, pass more here please.

Lunch will often make me mutter.
I'm not fond of peanut butter.
I hate chips that won't go crunch.
Truly, I do not like lunch.

Now dinner is another meal
I'll take or leave, that's how I feel.
There's always veggies I can't stand.
I have to eat them on demand.

If I could choose and have my way.
well, we'd eat breakfast food all day.

Oh Honey...Are We In LOVE!

Last night we had our

  Honey Cooking Class

 with the lovely Miss Becky from Schooner Farms!

We talked about the benefits of Raw Honey

and Bees....

....and we learned how to cook with Honey.

One of the first things she taught us, 

was how to make Honey Caramel!

She took 1 cup sugar and added

2/3 cup raw honey

and cooked them together over medium heat

stirring until the sugar was melted.

She let it cook, swirling the pan occasionally until it becomes foamy.

When the sugar starts to darken around the edges

 and slowly darkens to the center, stir the mixture

 until it is a deep butterscotch brown and remove from heat.

Immediately drizzle 1-1/2 cups heavy cream into the caramel

 (carefully because it is hot!)

and stir until completely dissolved. 

Add 4 tablespoons unsalted butter and a pinch of salt and stir well.

Let cool and enjoy!

Enjoy it on some homemade ice cream.....

(that she made with goats milk....oh my was this 

the most delicious thing we've tasted!)

Scoop some up and drizzle

as much of your honey caramel on

as you want....

you deserve it ~ you worked hard!

Believe us...

it won't last long!

"The only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee...

The only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey....

and the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it."

Well, it's Friday!

We're in Love with Honey...
