Honey & Herb Recipes
Raw honey, beeswax, propolis, herbs, and wild-foraged flavors โ recipes for every season.
Honey Pickled Garlic
Whole garlic cloves slow-pickled in a honey-apple cider brine until mellow, tangy, and surprisingly sweet. The garlic loses its sharpness and becomes something almost confectionery โ slice thin onto charcuterie boards, chop into vinaigrettes, or eat straight as an immune-boosting snack.
Honey Pickled Watermelon Rind
A Southern tradition that turns what most people throw away into something remarkable. The white rind of a watermelon โ firm, mild, and spongy โ soaks up a honey-spiced brine over several days, becoming sweet, tangy, and faintly perfumed with clove and cinnamon. A zero-waste summer project.
Honey Pickled Cherry Tomatoes with Basil
Whole cherry tomatoes scored and quick-pickled in a honey-white wine vinegar brine with fresh basil and garlic. They burst with sweet-tangy juice in your mouth and are extraordinary on bruschetta, tossed through pasta, or served alongside burrata with crusty bread.
Classic Honey Dill Cucumbers
Everything you love about a classic dill pickle, sweetened with raw honey instead of sugar. These whole-pack spears stay wonderfully crisp thanks to a grape leaf tucked in the jar โ an old pickler's trick that keeps tannins high and softening at bay.
Honey Pickled Carrots with Ginger & Coriander
Tender-crisp carrot coins pickled in a warm honey brine fragrant with ginger, coriander, and a hint of turmeric. Inspired by the quick-pickled carrots served alongside banh mi, these are equally at home on a cheese board, in a wrap, or alongside grilled meats.
Raw Shredded Beet Pickles (For Salads)
A vibrant, no-cook quick pickle that transforms raw beets into a jewel-bright salad topping in under an hour. The honey brine softens the beet's earthiness while keeping a satisfying crunch. Gorgeous piled onto grain bowls, tucked into wraps, or layered on goat cheese toast.
Honey Pickled Jalapeรฑos
Sweet heat in a jar. These sliced jalapeรฑos are quick-pickled in a honey-white wine vinegar brine that tempers the fire and adds a floral sweetness. The result is something wildly addictive โ perfect on nachos, eggs, pizza, sandwiches, or eaten straight from the jar.
Honey Dilly Beans (Pickled Green Beans)
A Pacific Northwest classic and one of the most satisfying pickles you can make. Whole green beans packed upright with garlic, fresh dill, and red pepper flakes, then bathed in a honey-apple cider brine. Crunchy, tangy, garlicky โ incredible with a cold beer or alongside a charcuterie board.
Simple Honey Mead (Beginner's Recipe)
Mead is humanity's oldest fermented beverage, made from honey, water, and yeast. This beginner-friendly recipe produces a light, slightly sweet mead in about 4โ6 weeks. A wonderful way to turn your harvest into something truly special.
The Bee's Knees Cocktail
A Prohibition-era classic that's perfectly suited for the hive-minded. Gin, fresh lemon juice, and a rich honey syrup create a beautifully balanced cocktail that lets your honey's flavor shine through.
Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
A weeknight dinner that feels like a restaurant meal. The glaze โ made from raw honey, garlic, soy, and a splash of apple cider vinegar โ caramelizes beautifully in a hot pan, coating the salmon in a lacquer of sweet, savory, and tangy flavor.
