Valentine's Day: American Honey

By JULIETTE ROSSANT The world is divided into two groups: those who like trees shading the sidewalk on a hot summer day, and those who wish those shade trees were peach or plum with sweet fruit just waiting to be eaten. Flowers are sweet, but honey is sweeter – and you can eat it. Ashurst American Honey, featured on the Food Network's Will Work for Food, is now offering a four-fer perfect for a Valentine's Day gift. American Honey packs four, cute honey bears in a box, each bear filled with different honey: Alfalfa, Sage, Orange Blossom, and Clover. Super Chef tried them all straight on a spoon, on corn bread, on French baguette, and drizzled over Persian yoghurt. The Alfalfa is richly hued and deeply flavored; the Sage is slightly less dark, but also complex and not too sweet; the Orange is very perfumed and yet perfect on a baguette; and the Clover is better then any supermarket clover you can find. This is rich, thick honey; so lavish it on your sweetheart with your own recipe of fresh baked bread or muffins for a sumptuous Valentine's breakfast.
