Honey Recipes

You can replace other sweeteners with honey in most any recipe. Some say to replace 1 cup of dry sweetener with 2/3 or 3/4 cup of honey depending on the sweetness desired. I actually drop it to 1/2 cup. I oil or wet my measuring cup for easier pouring. Sometimes it may be necessary to decrease baking temperatures by 25 degrees.

​The following recipes have been especially created and tested for honey and give the best results:

Classic Banana Bread

1/2 C. Soft butter or margarine
1/2 C. honey
2 eggs
1 1/3 C. mashed ripe bananas (3-4 medium)
1 tsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 C. of unsifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C. chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Mix mashed bananas, milk & vanilla. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Blend in alternating flour and banana mixture. Stir in nuts. Turn into greased 9" by 5" by 3" loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before turning out of pan.

​Yield: 1 loaf

Sweet Italian Sausage

1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp dried lemon peel
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp celery salt
