Rosemary Honey

Lately, I have really been loving Bon Appetit: gorgeous photography, modern style, and solid recipes. In the current issue, the southern issue, there were a couple of easy little recipes hidden among the pages that immediately caught my eye. The first was a recipe for rosemary honey.
In the dead of Colorado's winter, there isn't much produce to be playing around with, and it is time to look into the depths of your pantry for inspiration. A rosemary-infused honey is just the thing to keep my palate interested. I did have to run to the store for some rosemary sprigs, but by this time next year I'm hoping to have a little rosemary plant in my kitchen.
While delicious, Bon Appetit's recipes don't tend to be simple. So I was pleased to find a recipe like this one: less than 5 ingredients (all easy to find) and just a few minutes at the stove. They included this recipe as an embellishment for their skillet-fried chicken, but we have plans for drizzling it over some tasty biscuits (stay tuned). But with all this drizzling, I did realize that my kitchen is sadly lacking one of these.
Rosemary Honey
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tbs unsalted butter
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • pinch of salt
Bring everything to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Serve right away, or pour into jar and refrigerate.

  1. Oh boy, that sounds so good. I made some lavender-infused agave nectar for a failed cocktail this summer, and rosemary honey sounds like a similar concept. Tasty!

  5. Wow! We have rosemary growing right now. I think I'll have to try this out! I wonder what adding butter and salt to the honey does...

  6. This was SO good! I'm not a very good baker, but I made the sweet potato biscuits and rosemary honey last weekend and the flavors together were amazing! They were not that difficult and were a huge hit at my brunch. Thanks!!
