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
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.
- pinch of salt
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!

Here´s an another (already a frequent) visitor from Finland! Today it´s a perfect day for this Rosemary Honey:)
ReplyDeleteWow! 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...
ReplyDeleteThis 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!!
