This edition we cook with honey!
Honey is healthy and has benefits such as antibacterial activity and help with allergies. It also lasts forever! That’s right, honey doesn’t spoil.
It can crystallize and solidify, but can be heated and returned to a liquid state. The recipes below contain honey. Honey can be purchased at any local grocery store or buy raw honey at your farmer’s market.
Chipotle Honey Chicken Skewers
2 lbs chicken breast, boneless and skinless
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
½ teaspoon of salt.
8 skewers
If you’re using wooden skewers, it’s best to let them soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling so they don’t burn.
Cut the chicken breast into 8 thin slices. Then thread them accordion-style onto the prepared skewers. In a bowl, mix honey, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, chipotle powder, minced garlic and salt. Then spoon or spread the sauce over the chicken. Then grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. Coat the skewers with additional sauce while grilling. Check that the chicken is fully cooked.
Honey Butter Tillet Corn
2 tablespoons of butter
2 spoons of honey
1 bag frozen corn (16 oz)
2 oz cream cheese, diced
¼ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
In a pan over medium heat, combine the butter and honey and melt. When it melts, add the corn and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add cream cheese, salt and pepper and mix and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Honeybun Cookies
dough:
½ cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 and ½ cups of flour
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of salt
frosting:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 spoon of honey
1 spoon of milk
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar with a mixer. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until creamy. Now mix in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Take a small ball of dough and roll it in your hand. Now flatten to about an inch thick. Use a chopstick or skewer to create a honey bun swirl design on top of the cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes and let them cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
Prepare the frosting while the cookies are baking. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, powdered sugar, honey and milk. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil or overcook. Then spread the frosting over the cookies as they cool.
