筆記

Honey butter has slowly disappeared from store shelves over the last few decades, but mention the words “honey” and “butter” to people over a certain age and you’ll often get smiles and wistful looks as they remember eating it as a childhood treat.

In a different era, when preserving and canning foods were more than just trendy things to do, adding honey to butter was a useful trick that would preserve butter for longer than salting alone.

There is no shortage of recipes for honey butter, but not all are created equal. This recipe yields a rich, spreadable butter that strikes just the right balance between sweet and salty. We can’t recommend it enough as the finishing touch for our cornbread.
