Honey & Herb Recipes
Raw honey, beeswax, propolis, herbs, and wild-foraged flavors โ recipes for every season.
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.
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.
Quick Pickled Red Onions
The ultimate refrigerator staple. These thinly sliced red onions pickle in a honey-apple cider brine in just 30 minutes and will transform every taco, burger, grain bowl, and avocado toast you make for the next two weeks. Once you make a jar, you'll always have one going.
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.
Lavender Honey Lemonade
A floral, refreshing lemonade sweetened entirely with lavender-infused honey syrup. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon and a beautiful way to showcase the magic that happens when bees visit lavender fields.
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.
