There are sort of like a chocolate oatmeal no bake cookie, but extra creamy and special. It almost reminds me of fudge, but with the added texture
of the oats and occasional chewy sweetness of the dried cranberries – yum!

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup coconut oil ( cold pressed, extra virgin the best. No substitutions, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
• 2 cups oats
• 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries

In a medium saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.
Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.

Spread in a 9 x 13 pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about 1 hour. It is easier if you cut them before they get too hard. Store in refrigerator.

1 pint strawberries (frozen works well)
1 banana
1 – 8oz container yogurt (plain, banana or vanilla)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla

Process all ingredients in blender until smooth. (Put liquids in first then frozen berries – easier on the blender)

Makes 3 to 4 – 1 1/2cup servings.

Split the sqaush in half and remove seeds. Cut the sqaush into chunks and peel. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with 3/4 of the honey. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Add apples which have been peeled, cored and cut into segments. Drizzle with the remaining honey. Roast for another 20 minutes or until sqaush is soft.
In large pot melt butter and saute onion until soft. Add curry powder and deglaze pan with white wine. Add broth, sqaush and apples along with juice, cinnamon stick, salt and pepper.

Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and puree in batches. Add coconut milk and warm through. Serve.

Note: If freezing I would leave out the coconut milk and add only after mixture has thawed. Warm thoroughly and enjoy!

Beeswax Blocks

Approximately 1 oz each – just the right size for when you need just a little bit of beeswax. Some of the many uses for Beeswax are:

• Use as a wax to lubricate wooden sashes
• Coat the hemp used on bagpipe joints and turning slides
• Use to flux molten lead when casting bullets
• Used by bow hunters as archery wax
• As a coating for sewing threads (strengthens prevents catches or snags)
• Melt in a tart burner to enjoy the wonderful aroma!

Natural Lip Balm

Perfect for chapped or dry lips, this Lip Balm is made by us and contains only four powerful ingredients:

• ½ c butter (room temp – then no mixer is needed!)
• 1 c crunchy peanut butter
• ½ c sugar
• ½ c brown sugar

Once above is smooth, stir in:

• 1 c liquid honey
• 2 eggs, beaten

In separate bowl: combine, whisk/sift to mix:

• 2 ½ c flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Add dry to wet. Place plastic wrap over dough and chill for several hours (I normally whip the dough up and let chill overnight). Drop by teaspoons on cookie sheet, crisscross with fork dipped in flour.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, depending on oven.

Note: Keep dough in fridge when not working on it – makes it very easy for handling.

Enjoy!

About Our Sweet Products…

All of our jams, jellies and other products are sweetened with honey only. Therefore, they contain a higher fruit volume than similar products that are sweetened with sugar – a difference you can really taste! As we use as much local produce as possible, some of our jams, jellies, and pickles are only available when the produce is in season and until supplies last. Most of our jams are soft-set, which make them not only great for spreads, but also double as sauces.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

The Cinnamon is a combination of honey, pure butter, with a touch of cinnamon. This one is very popular as the cinnamon takes away some of the sweetness of the honey. All of the Honey Butters are delicious served on toast, pancakes, waffles, French toast, and more. Let your imagination take over and see what you can create!

Orange Honey Butter

Orange Honey Butter is a combination of honey, pure butter, orange peel, and orange juice. This is a unique balance of honey and orange, which seems to appeal to adults more so than kids. Orange Honey Butter is delicious when used to sear scallops or cooking salmon! Let your imagination take over and see what you can create!
